Lol, you said the ratings last year at the time are the same as this year.. I’ts late November early December. Now you are moving/cherry picking dates.
Also Forbes isn’t a blog and again, you have not explained why other news shows are beating FOX in time slots they have not done in years.
Great, so we agree is a little more trustworthy than what's getting posted around here. Let's look at what they say. Notice they never say collapse.
Fox News Channel finished the month of November as the most-watched network in cable and set a record for the highest-rated November ratings period in the network’s history. With an average prime time audience of 3.939 million viewers, Fox News outperformed its cable news competition, with CNN finishing in second place with 2.802 million viewers, and MSNBC finishing third with 2.660 million viewers.
Each of the cable news networks saw significant ratings gains due to the election year, with FNC’s prime time delivery was up 41 percent from the same period one year ago. CNN was up 180 percent, and MSNBC had the smallest year-over-year gain among total viewers, up 29 percent in prime.
I'm not getting a message of collapse here, are you?
Honestly, I'm not cherry picking dates, you are. Rating fluctuate wildly on a daily basis. Trump does sit down with Hannity and ratings go up 100%. Election week, up 200%, impeachment hearings, up 100%. Sunday night, down 80%. Look at a broader set of dates to see the reality.
"why other news shows are beating FOX in time slots they have not done in years."
Because generally it is isn't true? Especially in prime time, Fox still has the top shows.
FNC had four of the five highest-rated shows in November, led by Tucker Carlson Tonight, which delivered an average audience of 5.095 million viewers, followed by Hannity (4.982 million viewers), The Five (3.780 million viewers), The Ingraham Angle (3.776 million viewers) and MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show (3.437 million viewers).
