‘Tucker Carlson’ Gives Fox News Historic Ratings Boost (biggest ratings month ever)
Daily Caller ^ | 2:17 PM 11/30/2016 | Christian Datoc

Fox News just made history.

According to figures from Nielsen Media Research, Fox averaged 3,283,000 primetime, viewers in November — a 71 percent jump from November 2015 — making it the highest-rated primetime month since 2012.

Fox’s numbers more than doubled the combined totals from CNN and MSNBC — 1,529,000 and 1,335,000 respectively — over the same timeframe.

The network also posted monumental numbers for daytime viewers. Its 1,966,000 average made it Fox’s second-highest rated month for daytime viewers.

FNC notably saw a substantial bump at the 7:00 pm, EST time slot, now occupied by former “Fox & Friends” host and Daily Caller founder, Tucker Carlson.

“Tucker Carlson Tonight” premiered on November 14th and has seen double-digit increases in both total viewers and the coveted A25-54 demographic.

Carlson ended the month averaging 2,930,000 viewers, a 40 percent bump from November 2015, when the time slot was occupied by “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”

WATCH:

TCT isn’t the only Fox show drawing huge audiences.

“The O’Reilly Factor,” “The Kelly File,” “Hannity,” “Special Report” and “The Five” still hold the top-five, respective positions for cable news’ most watched programs.

November was the the 192nd month O’Reilly topped all of television — averaging 4,089,000 viewers — and the highest rated month for Hannity since October 2013.

November marked the 179th month Fox News led all of cable news in total viewers.

I like his new show. he seems to be fairly objective, and will push back at leftists who spout nonsense in the course of their diatribes. He’s a welcome relief from the other talking heads who infest other programs.

It was. I don’t have cable, but I’m able to listen to him on the way home from work on the XM radio.

Seems like he’s on course to destroy one nut job, each and every night.

I think CNN and MSNBC are on pre-Election playback loops. Every time I click through they still have rolling Trump Breaking News banners with some outlandish thing he has done or tweeted, and full panels of "contributors" who seem to be sharing some kind of inside joke with non-removable smirks on their faces and their eyes rolling in awe of the stupidity of Trump and his supporters.

Tucker has been a breath of fresh air for sure though! I prefer his Fox show over the rest at this point in time.

Tucker and Hannity are the only shows left on FNC worth a cup of warm spit anymore.

I also think Fox Business needs to be on the podium. They are garnering significant chunks of my viewing time.

Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. is one of the few guys who wasn’t completely “neverTrump.” Wonder if there is a connection?

He destroyed an Author claiming Isamophobia was behind jihad.

She said White Nationalist were responsible for more terror.

Tucker called her a liar, and she puke all over herself trying to defend her position.

They have just never been challenged. Tucker has come to life. Really amazed by the transformation from the five or six or whatever.

I’m surprised they even dare to come on his show , as they must know how he rips them apart.

Was in a restaurant tonight where they had CNN on.

In the 40-45 minutes I was there, I didn’t see one picture or video of Gatlinburg or other news. Just one after another story and banner about “Trump said this” “Trump did that” “so-and-so says Trump...”

I’m going to watch it later, but the fact is that his show is brilliant.
He seems to find the left wing nuts, and then rips them apart, and as you stated correctly,they have never been challenged.

A joy to watch.
