It is official. Newsmax TV surpassed both Fox Business and CNBC in daytime ratings the day after Election Day.
Nielsen reported Wednesday that Newsmax drew 287,000 average viewers per minute in the key daypart 9am to 4pm, outpacing CNBC with 285,000 viewers and Fox Business with 281,000.
Newsmax also outpaced Fox Business in primetime, with 205,000 viewers compared to 138,000.
The Nielsen rating only tells part of the story. OTT viewership on platforms like YouTube added an additional 100,000 per minute live viewers tuned into Newsmax TV on Wednesday.
"We're in less cable homes, our channel position is usually not as good as competitors, and our brand is less known, yet we're beating these guys," Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax TV said. "We have a better mousetrap and viewers are flocking to us."
Ruddy noted Newsmax's new programming lineup, including shows like "Greg Kelly Reports" and Sean Spicer's "Spicer & Co." only started this year.
"Our trajectory is like a rocket right now," Ruddy said.
On Election Night, Nielsen reported Newsmax TV's coverage was watched by 3 million viewers, with as many as 600,000 viewers per minute.
Nielsen also reported 1 million of Newsmax's election night viewers watched exclusively and never tuned into Fox News or another cable news channel.
When OTT viewers were factored in, Newsmax had over 1 million per minute viewers most of the same night. For example, YouTube's live stream showed over 70,000 viewers watching Newsmax at any minute during election night.
While Fox News led ratings election night, Newsmax appeared to benefit from angry, defecting viewers.
Newsmax was the first network to project Trump the winner of Florida, as Fox refused to call the state, despite more than 90% of ballots counted.

In case it wasn’t obvious that FOX has become controlled opposition, it appears Watters’ world has been pre-empted. If you go to Youtube and do a day search on Watters’ World, this is what you get. Totally deceptive.

On a separate but related note, last night my computer did an automatic Windows update. Interesting timing. They loaded a new version of Microsoft Edge to my computer. My home page now automatically goes to Bing, and includes all their ‘Biden Wins’ headlines. I had previously changed my home page to DuckDuckGo. I haven’t yet found an easy way to change the homepage on this new version. Also, I’m getting a “Not secure’ warning in the url field when I visit sites like Free Republic.
......and Halprin.
I went to Faux News’s FB page so see their followers and likes. I kept clicking on my browser and OMG, they are losing likes and followers in real time. I saw them lose 5,000 likes in five minutes.

They may own @FoxNews
—but the Murdoch family DOES NOT OWN AMERICA. We are not their “play-thing”—-so much FRAUD To be uncovered—-but all they contribute is a MEMO to Fox to start calling STATES for Biden, then to call him “president-elect” —he’s NOT. NOT. OVER.

NEW: FoxNews source tells @OANN: “Everything except Tucker/Hannity/Laura is cratering. Daytime’s been told not to have any guests on from the campaign/legal teams/White House.”
