Staffers at Fox News Channel are wondering just how low the ratings will go in a post-Tucker Carlson world. The latest Nielsen television ratings, released Monday, show that more than half of Carlson’s audience has turned off the channel.
On Friday night a mere 1.1 million viewers tuned in to Carlson’s old time slot. By comparison, Carlson average roughly 3 million viewers in his final week.
A Rasmussen Reports poll shows Carlson was actually more popular than Fox News.
Of likely U.S. voters surveyed, 59% surveyed said they had a favorable view of Carlson compared with 52% for Fox. More believe Carlson’s departure will make Fox worse, not better (32%-19%).
Carlson’s exit is also impacting the rest of the channel’s primetime lineup.

Plus any replacement for Tucker can assumed to be a shill and controlled opposition this includes the remaining talent at the network. There’s a ton of content and podcasts online where you can find people who share your viewpoint outside of television news ecosystem.
If a woman were to replace Tucker (who is irreplaceable, btw), it should be Tomi Lahren. She’s tough and smart and very knowledgeable, and takes no prisoners.
But, she’d be better off going where Tucker goes, to complement him.
Hannity? What a dope.

Same, TBH.
When I watched Tucker live...it was on a bootleg channel...as most of my media is these days.
I quit watching anything FOX. No Fox Business, no Fox Sports. Zero, zip, nada.
Sure - how can one even trust their reporting anymore - what happened to "We report, you decide" - now it's "we decide what we report" and how to slant it.
How much of Maria Bartiromo's reporting is now censored? Or Kudlow? We have no way of knowing.
Billionaires stomping on the people. You will eat your gruel and like it.
Seems that Gutfeld is in the catbird seat. The time is ripe for him to go independent. Cable news is dead and supposedly people that are wildly popular can make a mint by independently streaming. We’ll see what Carlson does, but I’ve seen several notable people, among them BOR and Megan Kelly, suggest the Tucker should go the independent route.
Maybe the Murdochs thought there was magic in Tucker’s time slot, not just because people like Tucker.
Wait a minute? They still have the guy who painted houses? What was his name? Hammity or something like that!
Imagine a company shows their customers what they truly believe then get surprised the customers move on. Either your customers didn’t understand or they did. Fox News is trying real had to demonstrate their customers understand the product is less important than the narrative. Odd. Conservatives just need to boycott every leftist group for one year. Reward the good ignore the evil. Make it part of your life.
With the writers on strike even he is going down the drain..
I think that is exactly right. Wanna know why no one is going to the movies? Wanna know why people are cutting the cord? Wanna know why there is no audience for network tv programming? People, like me, have just walked away, no, have run away, and want nothing to do with their manure. I’m done. I do not need you or whatever it is you’re peddling.
He does martial arts, you know.
You’re joking, right?
…..or, at least, sarcasm
I never watched more than the first half hour of Gutfield... something about the show rubbed me the wrong way.
We will not click on that channel.
