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.

Are we allowed to laugh now and say "Ha, Ha"?
What’s Fox got left? Gutfeld?
Good, reap what you sow
I am 100% done with cable TV news in all forms. A pox on all their houses.
I think they are making a mistake by just casting this as viewers being for Tucker or against Fox. People are just plain sick and tired of the SOS from the establishment media, which Fox is. They see crystal clearly that the Fox hitmen and hitwomen are leaking BS stories into the press. They are over it. Just like Bud Lite. Its not about being “for” or “against” “transpeople”. Average people are just sick of the same old s____t - yet another company signing on to the latest radical fad. People are tuning out and may never come back even if Fox plasters that silly waiving American Flag on the bottom right corner of the screen on every show they have.
I turned ‘em off Nov. 2020.
Gutfeld is literally all they have left. They have no other real talent.
This is a 2023 Boston Tea Party moment in time.
Fox Shills For Corporate Globalism And War
“Average people are just sick of the same old s____t -”
I think you are right.
I can listen to news on the radio and at the “top of the hour” it’s the same thing no matter which station I’m listening to. “Biden good”, “Economy great”, “Trump bad”, “Latest favored actor did so-and so”, “Someone shot someone else—guns bad”.
I know what they are going to say, so why tune in?
We are over it. So totally over it.
Well deserved. And bringing in the moron “live audience” doesn’t help one bit.
Sucks to be you, Sean.
Yes.
The youth also liked Ticker. They shot themselves in the foot.
You're a smart man. You could watch that crap 24x7 and not learn a thing new. The same 5-6 safe stories with boring comments by the usual suspects.
Don’t care. When Fox called Arizona for Biden I turned Fox off. I watch Gutfeld on YouTube.
I used to have Fox on constantly, 7 PM to midnight. With Tucker gone, I’m not watching at all. I’m really not boycotting, but he always had the best stories and commentary, and with that gone, nothing else matters.
FNC 2.0 = CNN/MSNBC
Piss on Fox.
Rumors out of the corporate offices are that they are contemplating changing the network’s name to the Bud Light News Channel.
I am really liking the feel, the anchors at NewsMax. I said goodye to Fox News and Bud Light..
his first 20 minutes was must see TV...i stopped what ever i was doing to watch that. Think they made huge mistake...
