Fox News is celebrating ratings success from this past year which made them the highest-rated cable news channel in history.
The numbers come from Nielsen Media Research and indicate that Fox is the cable news king for a fifth consecutive year.

But it would sure be interesting to see how November into December compares to the rest of the year.
You know, when Fox went off the deep end by prematurely calling state election results, hosts started censoring legal challenges to the election, and others simply mocked people who value the integrity of the voting process.
For instance, The Hill analyzes that CNN and MSNBC both had impressive numbers of their own.
MSNBC described a “record-breaking year in total viewers” and the sixth consecutive year of growth, while CNN celebrated its “best year ever” in ratings.
Media analyst Joe Concha, a Fox News contributor, shared a Hill report from earlier this month which showed the network earning the highest November ratings in the network’s history.
Day-to-day reports by Adweek in December, however, show the two left-wing media networks on top several times, as well as other days in which Fox News split ratings supremacy with others.

We know Marth MacCallum had some trouble, becoming the first show on Fox to lose to another on the competing channel, Newsmax.
Newsmax TV scored their historic, first-ever ratings victory over Fox News Channel earlier this month, according to a CNN Business report.
The notable win came in the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic prized by advertisers, when the “Greg Kelly Reports” show topped Fox’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”

This is like calling Pompeii the most beautiful city in Italy....

“I want to know who hired Arnon Mishkin for the election desk.”
Yes, that would be great to know.
Also, who made the hiring decisions on Water Buffalo Donna Brazile, Juana Williams, and Marie Barf?
Yes, it is not business as usual at Fox. But the numbers that they are running are at about the business as usual levels. I’m predicting that those numbers will to continue to fall and we really don’t know by how much yet.
My concern is that comparing November and December ratings is less than meaningful. November ratings were sky high because of the “election”. So a decline for Fox and and all the rest would be expected to be down at least somewhat and they are.
But Fox is obviously down in this still news heavy environment. They should be doing better than their “business as usual” ratings.
How far will they fall? I don’t think we know yet. But it will be below current levels..
They better celebrate this year....next year they’re f#@ked!!!
Fox ratings are NOT business as usual. They have lost 4 years of ratings gains in 6 weeks.
And Laura Ingraham’s ratings now are 37% LOWER than back in October 2017 when Fox gave her the 10pm hour.
Not business as usual.
I have even stopped watching Gutfeld. We don’t turn Fox on for any reason.
I agree
