Positive signs for first rejiggered Fox News primetime lineup in more than a decade

Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File” handily beat rivals in total viewers, an auspicious start for the network’s first new primetime program in more than a decade, as well as its host, Megyn Kelly.

According to early Nielsen totals, Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File” lured nearly 2.1 million viewers between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m,. Monday evening, compared with 997,466 for MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” and 529,946 for CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.” The figures could change slightly.

MSNBC’s “Maddow” secured more viewers among audiences between 25 and 54 years of age, the demographic most coveted by advertisers in news programming. “Maddow” attracted 298,543 in the demo, according to Nielsen, compared with 289,264 for “Kelly” and 144,602 for “Piers Morgan.” Ad buyers have said they have come to expect the largest viewership for cable news from Fox News Channel.

So MadCow beat kelly by 9,000 viewers in the key demo...but that is a whisker.

If Megyn can stop the leftist tendencies (she knows in her heart that liberalism is destructive to society) and start being truly fair and balanced, she can make a difference.

I just as soon watch Maddow. At least she lets you know up front what she believes.

I watched Megyn Kelly yesterday, but only because it was the first airing of her new show and Cruz was a guest. I won’t be bothering with her in the future.

MadCow got the “key” low information voter types. Must be a lesbian thing.

I watched it last night....I didn’t care for it. Yeas she is easy on the eyes, but...just something about it wasn’t interesting enough. Hope it gets better.

Yes, I have absolutely no use for her. She is of the view that queers can adopt children and have them turn out perfectly normal and happy. Her show deserves to tank.

>> If Megyn can stop the leftist tendencie

Kelly seems to enjoy the occasional academic confrontation, but portrays an unconvincing personality otherwise despite her accomplishments and credentials. I would prefer to see Greta in that spot.

She’s just done at least 15 minutes of great reporting on the govt shutdown cuts to the vets but the illegal alien gathering at the mall (with a video of Pelosi with the illegals).
