Bill O'Reilly's ratings record streak among the coveted group of cable viewers between the ages of 25 and 54 has just been broken, not by a rival network, but by his Fox News colleague Megyn Kelly.
Thanks to Fox's GOP primary debate, Kelly's average audience in that key demographic surpassed O'Reilly's in the third quarter of the year.
O'Reilly has been #1 on cable in the demo every quarterly period since 2005. His dethroning might create some tension in the halls at Fox, but it's not as if Kelly's gains are coming at his expense. To the contrary, Kelly's 9 pm show benefits enormously from the strength of O'Reilly's 8 pm show.
And O'Reilly remains firmly #1 among total viewers, with 2.87 million per night versus Kelly's 2.53 million.
Kelly's first time at #1 in the quarterly ratings shows is a sign of her continued ascent in the television news business.

That’s not possible, everybody here hates her.
Killer B`s for swimming C`s..?
Meh, no thanks.
The butt hurt by the Trumpiites will be severe.
Yes, I’m just dying inside.
Has O’Reilly fallen that far?
25-52 is not even 50%. I hope those teams have a run game.
“BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT!!!!!!!”....................yawn.
FR Megyn haters on suicide watch.
You said what I was gonna say...Megyn is a mean meanie
Bill’s next book will be Killing Kelly.
Yeah, I care too.
Not : )
Trump has GOT to schedule all his evening appearances opposite Kelly's hour to pull her audience away.
She's going to be even more insufferable and anti-Trump now.

So the FReeper boycott of Fox News is really working then
All I know is that after years of going after idiot Megan McCain, Fox News has the gall to hire her. That was uncalled for and very disturbing. Especially when she couldn’t get on anything else and was fired by a low rated channel Pivot that now just runs reality programs, old shows and movies. Meanwhile they got rid of Sarah Palin. Something is not right with the picture. Lending Fox News more criticism. So it is more than Megyn Kelly and more than one show.
Someone had a 30 day slot that didn’t look very good. Wonder why they went 90 days to prove she is doing fine?
Pray America wakes
Looks like the doom promised by the Trump brigade failed to materialize.
RE: Looks like the doom promised by the Trump brigade failed to materialize.
Trump is prone to hyperbole.
Bill could never pull off the little black dress.
D-One throw up your nice ratings graphics with the percentages. ;-)
