Sean Hannity’s Ratings Plunge After Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Exit
Epoch Times ^ | April 29, 2023 | Jack Phillips

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.

I very rarely watch Hannity - I turned him off ages ago because his questions are 5 minutes long, not leaving the guest time to answer, and when they do, he constantly interrupts. He also talks about himself at every opportunity which drives me nuts.

Exactly. Hannity doesn't let his 'guests' speak at all. He's obnoxious as hell. The best thing about Tucker was that he actually listened to the people he was talking to, and treated them as an actual guest.

Actually he usually answers the question and tries to get the guest to agree with him. I quit all cable/network news 2 weeks before they stole the election from Trump, won't be going back unless they are reporting the return of Jesus.

Murdochs do not care. They are now being invited to all the cool NYC parties.

Sean’s brain was buried with Rush Limbaugh...”Just doing show prep for others”...

And his balls are in Ainsley's lockbox.

Yes, that was one of the many good things about Tucker, listening to his guests without interruption. Laura Ingraham is always cutting Victor David Hanson off when he speaks and it was refreshing to be able to hear his entire responses on topics when he was on with Tucker.

“Interesting, and sometimes “Funny”.

I might have watched five minutes. Not worth the stop; whereas, Tucker was captivating on all counts.

Since Tucker is still being paid, maybe he’ll return?

People had tuned in for Tucker, and left the TV on for Hannity. Now, they’re not.

Hannity’s politics are stuck in the early 1990s.

The guy has not evolved. Plus he wastes so much time at the beginning and ending of each segment about what is coming up.

The show with Hannity repeating the same old platitudes is tiresome and boring.

It’s like Facebook, critical mass. I know so many who were swearing off Facebook for some other platform only to return. I guess it’s not fun lobbing insults at an echo chamber.

I can’t think of any TV media personality more insufferable than Sean Hannity.

Try watching Eric Bolling over at Newsmax. I suspect he went to the Hannitus Interruptus school of broadcasting.
