Buoyed by the GOP debate, Fox News' 'The Kelly File' enjoyed its third month ever at No. 1 among adults 25-54.
Donald Trump might have issues with Megyn Kelly, but viewers evidently don't. If August is any indication, her Kelly File is shaping up to be the cable news destination for coverage of the 2016 election.
Kelly had the highest-rated cable news show for the month, even with her weeklong vacation. Buoyed by the record-breaking showcase of Fox News Channel's GOP debate and her 11 p.m. telecast that night, she outpaced typical victor Bill O'Reilly for only the third full month since she shifted to her high-profile primetime slot in late 2013.
The 9 p.m. show averaged 566,000 adults 25-54, a 41 percent jump and safely above O'Reilly's 541,000 in the news demographic. With the debate, their respective showings and Sean Hannity's — the host welcomed one of the month's higher-profile visits from Trump — FNC primetime was up a whopping 64 percent in the demo from August 2014. (All told, it was the net's highest-rated month since November 2012.)

I lost a lot of respect for that lovely lady.
Fox doesn’t OAN me. :)
Ailes and Murdoch are laughing about the Trump fued all the way to the bank.
Or lib activists are tuning in to boost her ratings. ....
Yep, Trump was right all along.
I think all 3 of them are laughing.
She’s the prefect GOPe star of cable news. Crap all over your base of support and they’ll still follow you like sheep.
Well I for one am leaving the herd. No more Megyn Kelly for me, and no more lessor of two evils. The GOP will have to offer a real alternative or they will not get my vote.
Apparently while her ratings were solid her poll unfavorability among conservatives went up.

Wonder if liberals are tuning in. if so they probably won’t last.
Make it The Kelly & Holmes Show.
When the controversy dies down, Mrs. C-word and Faux News in general will be left with far fewer of their loyal viewers - many of whom are now looking for alternatives.
Here she is in her underwear, farting:
I can’t believe anyone watches this crap.
Why don’t you post Mrs. Trump’s picture? You know, the one of her on the bed.
I completely disagree.
Sure the debate was big. No it was bigger than that, is was HUGE.
That is what the ratings are showing. At that debate with huge ratings, a whole huge number of Americans saw something the very much don’t like. Loyal Fox viewers, for a long time.
And they were PISSED OFF. Just wait until next month.
I haven’t watched Fox since. Not even for one minute.
Fox you blew it, big time.
No ratings decline was going to show in August if a decline is realized. Megyn was gone for seven shows during the month and the Trump news was going to keep the viewers coming no matter what, and might have drawn some new viewers for a few days.
We’ll have to wait to see if her ratings change.
This article conveniently omits the ‘Total’ viewing numbers compared to pre-debate. The are playing with the numbers.
Bingo
Not sure why you would Mrs. Trump she has anything to do with the conversation, it'll be my pleasure.
Mrs. Trump is absolutely GORGEOUS, not a bitch and doesn't hold herself out as a serious journalist. She also not working for an organization that pretends to be "fair and balanced."
Picture looks like she ate a lot of beans
