Executives Are 'Panicked' Over the Post-Tucker Fox News Primetime Lineup Ratings

Sources at Fox are saying that last night’s much-hyped primetime reboot was a ratings disaster. Executives are panicked. Hannity lost to MSNBC’s Maddow and the 8:00 show only pulled in 149,000 from the key demographic. (Tucker routinely got at least 400k).

Final ratings numbers are in from Fox's big primetime "relaunch/reshuffle." These numbers include DVR viewings.

@JesseBWatters managed just 161,000 viewers in the key 25-54 y/o demographic (Tucker often had > 400k). Jesse somehow lost demo viewers after Laura Ingraham, who scored 162,000. Hannity cratered at 150,000 demo viewers -- roughly 50,000 lower than Maddow. Disastrous. The Wrong Hosts at the Wrong Times?

Tom Petty’s hologram is seen, once again preparing to sing his biggest hit: “Freefalling!”
It’s playing on Repeat.

There is a dignity in advanced age, but the TV doesn’t always pick up on that quality. Sean is younger than I am, but in that ‘Mod Squad’ shot, he looks pretty weathered.

I am beginning to see that conservatives can change things by the money they spend, and the time they use the TVs and computers.

Maybe they can hit Pfizer up for a cash infusion.

If they were panicked, they would apologize and backtrack. FOX is owned by foreigners, and their libtard wives call the shots.

They blew it.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

At least Laura has a nice figure.

Meanwhile, Tucker is up and running

In addition, this site is claiming that he has joined

Best of luck, Tucker!

I think some folks just watched Hannity for the same reason that people watched “Maude” in 1976. They already had the TV tuned to the station for the show they cared about (”All In the Family”) and didn’t bother changing the channel.

CNN Lite is pulling a Bud Lite.

Occasionally, I’ll check out “The Five” in the afternoon, just to see if they’d even mention the word, “Tucker”. Not a peep since that very first fiasco.

That she does! It pays to be built tall and slender.
She has a good tailor.

[Newtoidaho]

Fox went full drudge. Never go full drudge.

[Seaplaner]

My prediction still stands.

One fine day, Tucker Carlson will own Fox News.

[Angelino97]

Tucker, even more so than Trump, speaks hard truths.

Conservatives are tired of vapid, "safe" talking points. "Taxes bad, military good, buy my book, liberals stupid, guns good, like and subscribe, America No. 1, Democrats dumb, shop at our online store for patriotic gear ... "

and their libtard wives call the shots.

Imaging if those who fought in the Revolutionary War had decided not to - because their wives liked the King?

[Reno89519]

They should be freaking out. Personally, the only show I watch is The Five and rarely Gutfeld.

[Dr.Deth]

Laura isn’t tall. She is athletic however. You might run into her at Jackson Hole.

Sean’s a smoker, so…
