Fox News is still leading the cable news ratings race—but for how long? Fox's overall ratings for November dropped 13% compared to the same month last year, reports Mediabistro.

We had it on 2-3 hrs a day for a long time. Since summer, hardly at all. Doubt if it’s been on at all for the past 2 months. Better variety and info on the web. I read FR while we watch HGTV and old sitcom reruns.
Talk radio is where it’s at. GBTV is far more informative than cable news is and it’s not on 24/7.
Fox better stop pushing Romney and get on the Newt-train.
Yup. This is no surprize. Fox is now just like every other ‘news’ station.
As far as I'm concerned, fox is just another msm.
CNN usually has better coverage of international events.
Seriously miss Beck, on the radio and on FNC.
My local radio station dropped his program and “went local”, and it just sucks now.
I’ve been listening to Beck since he started in the Philly radio market back in 2001.
He DID get a little whiney and preachy now and then, but hey, that’s just him. He’s human.
He must have been making some waves and over the target, because Soros sent people to initimidate him.
I haven’t had tv since ‘97. I am exposed to it in the occasional hotel room though. My take on Fox is that they are liberal, but just not as liberal as the others. I still found myself sometimes having that desire to throw my shoe at the tv just like in the old days.
I’m to the point where I’ll DVR O’reilly and watch just a segment or two . I can’t watch Hannity any more. He just repeats and repeats himself no matter what guest he happens to have on.
FOX has failed to stay fresh. Same old formats and people.
I think FOX & Friends was a good morning show on weekdays. They really need to replace Grinchin and get someone that isn’t as shrill and overbearing. I have gotten to where I will watch only on days she is replaced by someone less overbearing. ugh.
The other shows are getting boring. Hannity with the stupid All American Panel, Greta dragging out the Juan McCain and Linseeds as though we all want to hear them. The Five is unwatchable. RINOs and Beckel. Dana PerRINO is a RINO snit, totally irritating.
ugh, FOX needs a facelift. I have always wondered why News Channels don’t go with more in depth news and less cooking and silly crap.
I would also like to see FOX start going after Obama and do the vetting on him like they do with our candidates. They have been as bad as MSNBC running with the latest unsourced hit pieces on candidates from our side.
Until they get rid of Beckle and Colmes, I will not watch this now CNN wannabe station!
I have to add I am so sick and tired of the stupid repeated video they insisted on running during various segments.
I think there is merit to the fact that we aren’t in an election year and thus, ratings naturally will go down for Fox. Having said that, I’m bored by a lot of what they have on too. Its not really that in-depth. And I think cable news is dying anyway. There is a comment under the story that “anyone under the age of senile gets their news from the internet.” That is true no matter how conservative a network is.
Dear Mr. Ailes, I have an idea that might help boost your ratings. If you’d care to hear it, FReep mail me here at FR.
We can't watch "The Five." It's one of the most irritating shows I've ever watched. My husband dislikes it even more than I do.
Yeah. I miss Glen. He was the best thing that ever happened to Fox.
I used to watch Megyn Kelly, but she keeps putting on Julian Epstein, who lies about Fast and Furious and she lets him get away with it.
I've actually been warming up to Hannity again, though.
Add in Shep Smith, the socialist
