Tucker Carlson’s exit from Fox News appears to be impacting more than just the timeslot that he hosted for years on the network.
Carlson’s finale a week ago drew 2.65 million viewers, according to Nielsen. The data shows that Brian Kilmeade’s substitute hosting gig for “Fox News Tonight” saw ratings of 2.59 million on Monday, 1.7 million on Tuesday, and 1.33 million on Wednesday, respectively. Last Wednesday, Carlson drew about 3 million viewers, Nielsen figures show.
But the 9 p.m. Fox News program hosted by Sean Hannity drew about 2.5 million on Monday, 2 million on Tuesday, and 1.7 million on Wednesday night, according to Nielsen. In comparison, Hannity drew about 2.6 million viewers the Wednesday a week before, the ratings show.

By and large, FOX primetime is still very strong, very conservative, despite our irritations with this or that. (hannity)
I hear more radio of Kilmeade, Sean, and Laura who was very brilliant & fun for years. They say Kilmeade hates Trump. He does not.
Sean recycles himself endlessly, yes, but manages to showcase strong conservative guests (when he lets them talk.) O’Reilly being but one.
Too early to give up on FOX. Gutfield fits where he is, but would not leading off prime time. Watters is sympatico with Carlson but is more hit-and-run and less deep diving, investigative, analytical. I wonder if they’ll work Tulsi Gabbard into prime-time: Tulsi, Watters, Sean, Laura, Gutfeld.
He worked at 13 in a restaurant...Did you know that?
Hannity would have walked if he had a backbone. How many millions do you need Sean?
Interesting, and sometimes "Funny".
Chickenhawk Hannity is the one they should have fired. Can believe this fool, just one step up from Juan Williams, is still there. Now, without the cover of Tucker Carlson, he is on the spot for low ratings as no one is going to get past their dislike of Fox at the moment to bother watching him.
At the moment I still stream Fox via Sirius XM in the morning driving, for The Five in the afternoon, and sometimes Gutfeld in the evening, but that is it. Limited and as I find options, will be even less.
I’ve never liked the guy and never will. Now I understand why. He’s just a mouthpiece for the RINO Establishment Republicans.
Fox News is a RINO Brainwashing Session it used to be sexy with all the breasts and legs exposed I stopped watching because of that heck I don’t really know if they still do that stuff.
He also slimed the black Conservative in PA to get Dr OZ nominated. OZ was not a Conservative.
I’ve had trouble listening to Sean due to the interruptions and self promoting stuff, but I’ll always be grateful for the incredible work he did promoting Trump.
Did anyone work harder to get Trump elected?
Fox can go to hell! Myself (and many others) will have no problem never watching them again.
Hannity is too loudmouthed and not principled enough. If he were to shape up, he could earn a larger audience.
He also keeps supporting Trump. He’s not a nut about it, but he plays the field pretty well. Never seems to say much bad about anyone on the R side.
Seems nothing satisfies the purists.

Good point... Hannity is insufferable to listen to but some of the bashing of him is simply over the top.
Just by coincidence I was stuck in a situation last Friday where Special Report With Bret Baier was playing in the background.
I had not watched the program in years. Trace Gallagher was the substitute host.
I was struck by how dumbed down and trivial it was. Just like Tucker said in his video from the Wednesday before.
Hannity was fine in the beginning (before he was on nationally), however now he’s boring on the radio. After Rush’s passing, when I’m driving I’m on country music. Clay and Buck are fine, but even WFLA in Tampa is not on much. (Just an hour for traffic and the news in the morning, Reel Animals Fishing Show on Saturday. Nothing wrong with Ryan Gorman, but he isn’t Jack Harris, who been in Tampa Bay’s radio for 50 years.)
Hannity constantly overtalks all of his guests, he’s annoying
The end of bigmouth Hannity cannot be far off.Untalented, boring, low IQ loser.
‘...but it was obvious to me that he’s dumber than a bag of rocks.’
yeah, we all should be dumb as a box of rocks, and we can all maintain national tv and radio programs, having made several millions of dollars in so doing...
imagine how happy we would all be if we could be dumb as boxes of rocks...
Why is anyone still watching Fox Snooze?
‘He also slimed the black Conservative in PA to get Dr OZ nominated.’
just like donald Trump; imagine that...
