A cable program ever, or program on a cable news channel?

I notice my you tube has him in the front row constantly. I’m surprised as they don’t do that for others that I watch.

The Walking Dead, at its peak of popularity, was drawing 17 million viewers. This must be the record for a cable news show.

The title is very misleading.

They are part of a second teir of cable service packages, thus people must pay more to view the program (products).

Re: “Highest rated cable program ever, or program on a cable news channel?”

That is a good question.

I think the “Breaking Bad” final season held the previous record at 4.32 million, but that was 16 episodes spread across a 12 month period.

Tucker’s numbers come from approximately 65 shows - 5 nights a week spread across 13 weeks.

The “Breaking Bad” final episode scored 10.28 million, which I think is still the all time cable record for one show.

It tells you in the headlines and the very first sentence. It's the highest rated cable show for a quarter ever. Period.
Congrats to Tucker. Very well deserved.

Good question. The article doesn’t specify nor does it provide a source.

According to the headline in Forbes, “Tucker Carlson Has Highest-Rated Program In Cable NEWS (emphasis added) History.”

Pulptastic headline is: “Tucker Carlson Breaks Record for Highest-Rated Cable NEWS (emphasis added) Program.”
