Laura Ingraham’s “The Ingraham Angle” drew 2.156 million on Wednesday, April 19. But this past Wednesday, two days after Carlson was confirmed gone, her show drew 1.55 million viewers.

Jesse Watters’ show also saw a decline. For Wednesday, it saw an audience of 1.558 million, but a week prior, it generated 2.1 million.

In response to the Nielsen ratings numbers, Fox News said in a statement to news outlets that Fox has been cable news’ most-watched network for 21 years, with its team “trusted more by viewers than any other news source.” When reached for comment, a Fox spokesperson also told The Epoch Times that “Fox News led cable news on Monday and Tuesday across total day and primetime with viewers and A25-54,” referring to the 25-54 age demographic coveted by advertisers.

I will say that Hannity seems to have been fair to Pres. Trump, but let’s not forget that Hannity treated Ron Paul like crap, and that he was the biggest G W MORON cheerleader. And his stupid “tik tok” BS is shameful. He’s never had the guts to take on real issues like Obama’s lack of NBC status or vote fraud.

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

And that includes former and current CNN talking heads…

Yes, but their ratings still handily beat the other alphabet networks (we shall see if that continues).

Fox is transitioning; they’re not going anywhere.

But watching them decline is certainly entertaining, as it hits them right in the pocketbook.

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.

Hannity would have walked if he had a backbone. How many millions do you need Sean?

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.

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?

Hannity is too loudmouthed and not principled enough. If he were to shape up, he could earn a larger audience.

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.

Long before Hannity became a thing, I knew that somebody with a NY accent wearing cowboy boots was a poser.

“Sean Hannity’s Ratings Plunge After Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Exit”

Told you so.

Loss leader or better put lost leader.

Tucker was their leader. Now that they “lost” him, people who tuned in to see Tucker stuck around for Hannity and others.

Now, without the draw of Tucker, fewer are tuning in AT ALL!

Hey Murdochs, toasting each other with Bud Lights? FOOLS!

Be careful what you say about Hannity or he will send his “Twitter army” after all you Freeps.

Yes, that’s what he used to call us years ago because he didn’t get the respect that he thought he deserved. I don’t remember if he was registered here or he only lurked.

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

This simply proves that most of Hannity’s viewers weren’t viewers at all.

They were people who walked away from the TV after Carlson’s show and forgot to turn it off…

Why does anyone watch or listen to this disloyal, untalented buffoon anyway?

His show went downhill when Colmes left.

The late great Bob Grant used to pejoratively refer to Hannity as a “wall banger.”
