[O’Reilly had the largest share of ratings of anyone on FOX. No one else even close.]
March 2017
The O’Reilly Factor Marked a Record with the Highest-Rated Quarter For Any Program in Cable News History
Every Hour on FNC from 6AM-11PM/ET Claimed a Record High in FNC’s 20-Year History
Millennials Watched FNC More Than Any Other Cable News Network in 1Q’17
Continuing its record-breaking ratings streak, FOX News Channel (FNC) finished the first quarter of 2017 with the highest-rated quarter ever in cable news history in 24-hour viewership, and once again topped cable in both primetime and total day according to Nielsen Media Research. Each hour during the 6AM-11PM/ET program lineup broke a network record with the highest-rated hours ever for a quarter with millennials tuning in to FOX News more than any other cable news outlet. Furthermore, The O’Reilly Factor not only had its highest-rated quarter ever in history, but it broke all previous records in cable news history for the highest-viewership ever for any given program in a quarter. . .
When Fox News Channel started in 1996, “The O’Reilly Report”, as it was then known, ran at 6 PM Eastern. Catherine Crier (anyone remember her?) was in the 8 PM slot. When she left, they moved Bill into her slot, renamed the show “The O’Reilly Factor”, and enjoyed a pretty good ride. Let’s see what happens now.
It might be worth watching the Factor tonight just to see what, if anything, they have to say.
This was an organized take down by the left. The left won big and many of us are blind to this. It started April 1 with the NYT article, followed by 50 companies withdrawing their ads and left wing demonstrators in front of the FNC HQ. Look at the protesters and their signs. Sexual Predator? Really?

And here are the new BS allegations:
Attorney Lisa Bloom announced Tuesday that she is representing a new client who is accusing O’Reilly of “sexual and racial harassment.”
Bloom did not reveal the identity of the new client but said that she called the hotline Fox News set up last week to investigate claims against O’Reilly.
The attorney told The Hollywood Reporter that her client was called “hot chocolate” by O’Reilly and “was afraid if she told him to knock it off she'd get fired.”
