Both CNN and MSNBC scored a ratings win over Fox News for the first time in 20 years on Friday, January 8, according to Nielsen, via Mediaite.

This was closely followed by MSNBC, with 4.32 million total viewers and 838,000 in that same demographic.

Fox came in third place, with 2.98 million total viewers and 513,000 in the 25-54 demographic.

Laura’s rating have collapsed and they’re tanking the 11pm Bream show ratings as collateral damage.

Laura’s ratings have fallen just as much as Martha MacCallum’s ratings.

Fox will buy out Laura’s contract once they find a replacement who won’t lose Hannity’s viewers and tank the 11pm show’s ratings, too.

Laura’s contract is peanuts compared to the advertising revenue being lost because of her viewers that have fled her show.

“What FNC apparently doesn’t yet realize is the only people watching at 1 or 3 PM EST are old, retired people - who are roughly 95% conservative. Putting two of your most liberal hosts on at that time..not too smart.”

Yes, very good points. I don’t think getting rid of Sandra and Martha would help Fox News at this point. The trust has been broken. It’s interesting to consider that they have almost certainly had very high level discussions about how to get rid of Tucker. I turned off Fox 2 months ago. There are other sources.

It’s hilarious, it was working and they were number 1, so they decided to change and become anti-Trump and anti-Conservative, amazing brilliance.

“We’re not coming back! Never! Ever!”

That’s a fact. Betray your supporters, and you will NEVER get them back, because you have shown yourselves to be unreliable at best and outright backstabbers (and thus allies of the fascist left) at worst.

Fox News has always been beaten in the ratings.

If you add up CNN and MSNBC viewers combined it was always greater than Fox. That is the real # you have to be concerned about. That means more people are watching liberal news than conservative news.

I used to like Laura Ingraham years ago when she had a radio program. Since she got her own show on Fox she has become insufferable, and a phony, to boot. Good riddance.

Conservatives eating conservatives again.

No wonder we are losing. Eating Fox News when it was the best thing, the only thing on the air for conservatives.

You will never see anti CNN or MSNBC post on liberal forums..

That’s why Fox is going to use rotating hosts for their new show at 7pm until they find one they will stick with and who will be groomed for Laura’s 10pm spot.

“The new 7pm show is really an open audition to see who will replace Laura in a year.”

Yup; Laura became unwatchable even before the election. And when she signed a contract extension in December it erased any and all doubt that she’s in this only for herself, and she’ll say and do anything her handlers tell her to do.

“ until they find one they will stick with ”

The viewers will never return. Never
