For the 77th consecutive month, FNC finished first in total day and prime time ratings during May. FNC was the sixth highest rated cable network on all of basic cable during prime time for the month (CNN and MSNBC finished 19th and 26th) and the seventh rated network in total day (CNN and MSNBC were 19th and 27th).
FNC also had 11 out of the top 13 programs in cable during the month in Total Viewers. The O'Reilly Factor was the #1 program in cable news for the 90th consecutive month, and saw gains in Total Viewers year-to-year (26%).

GE take note.
When GE was successful, it expected every division to be #1. Now being 26th is perfectly acceptable.
They mention the Leprechaun and van Eyejob, but they don’t mention Beck anywhere. Beck is a good man, and I think he’s making himself and excellent Paul Revere for our times! We need a national celebrity who speaks out against our pols.
Immelt is a moron. He can’t run a corporation.
I think this article is from 2008 - notice the comments under it are over a year old.
I bet the ratings are even better this year.
This appears to be an old survey because it still includes Hannity & Colmes ... hence no Beck ... he wasn’t there yet!
Obama probably thought that his taking a stap at Fox News yesterday; might impact some of those numbers; per the messiah does not WANT you to ‘go there’. . .of course, other reasons as well; but gee, ‘sweeps’ are on; more power; Obama, no doubt wishes; ‘to him’.
Article is dated Wed, May 28. That means 2008.
