Fox News’ Upper Hand Next Year: The Country’s Eyeballs, Down to Districts - Cable giant is most-watched news outlet in nearly 70% of U.S. congressional districts

People tend to seek out news that reinforces their own ideologies, and a new analysis of more than 1 million responses gathered over the past year suggests the country is much hungrier for red meat.

Morning Consult data from 1,124,368 responses gathered Nov. 1, 2018, through Oct. 31, 2019, provides a unique look at weekly viewership of CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC among Democrats, independents and Republicans in every U.S. congressional district — and reveals the awesome reach of one outlet in particular: Fox News.

Fox News is the most-watched cable news outlet in 299 of the country’s 436 districts by a margin of at least 2 percentage points. (The analysis was based on the share of adults who said they watched each outlet at least once a week and was performed using Pennsylvania’s pre-2018 districting.) The conservative-leaning cable giant, which launched in 1996, has led basic cable in total day viewers for the past 40 months, per Nielsen ratings.

Certainly can't hurt....

and Shepherd Fairy is no longer in charge of the 3 to 6 pm hours.

People tend to seek out news

not leftwing non-stop activism laced with vitriolic hatred.

Thus, they migrate to FOX which is much better than any alternative.

Lyin’ Ryan is working to change that.

[JohnBrowdie]

how can that be? all I read about here on FR is how everyone hates FNC or has cut the cord altogether.

simply impossible.

[Conserv]

Well, I have cut the cord.

I’m strictly antenna....

but I can pick up Fox News on the computer if need be.

I noticed FOX was being shown in my mechanic’s waiting room, yesterday. It was the first time I hadn’t seen CNN in a waiting room.

OANN is the only source for news for me and my household.

Well of course it is - the right has one source in Fox, the left is split among several other sources. Don’t get me wrong, I am on the right side of this but while technically true the headline just doesn’t pass the reasonableness test. When I try to add the lefty sites together sometimes Fox still wins, sometimes it doesn’t.

They ceased to do that a year or two ago.

Residents in 63 districts watch nonpartisan CNN the most

CNN is nonpartisan???

I've been checking CNN and MSNBC for a couple minutes every once in a while to see their takes on impeachment. It's amazing, like they are living in a different world where mountains of evidence prove President Trump is about to be impeached and removed.

Switch to Fox where everyone is saying there is no evidence except that proving corrupt Democrats are criminals.

This article is cheering that everyone is not fooled by these radical left-wing propaganda mills.

[Fightin Whitey]

You are so right!

I haven’t watched it in years and years.

And every time I turn it on it’s worse than before!

lol

[jmaroneps37]

Just imagine how much good Faux News could do if it really was “fair and honest?”

[PghBaldy]

PBS + ABC + CBS + NBC + CNN + MSNBC vs. Fox News. It is silly to think Fox indicates much of anything except the other channels are just splitting the leftist audience.

[PghBaldy]

The article labels CNN as non-partisan!

[Subcutaneous Fishstick Blues]

CNN is nonpartisan???

Is that a secondary channel not carried everywhere, like CNN Headline News?
