Fox News just made history.
According to figures from Nielsen Media Research, Fox averaged 3,283,000 primetime, viewers in November — a 71 percent jump from November 2015 — making it the highest-rated primetime month since 2012.
Fox’s numbers more than doubled the combined totals from CNN and MSNBC — 1,529,000 and 1,335,000 respectively — over the same timeframe.
The network also posted monumental numbers for daytime viewers. Its 1,966,000 average made it Fox’s second-highest rated month for daytime viewers.
FNC notably saw a substantial bump at the 7:00 pm, EST time slot, now occupied by former “Fox & Friends” host and Daily Caller founder, Tucker Carlson.

“Tucker Carlson Tonight” premiered on November 14th and has seen double-digit increases in both total viewers and the coveted A25-54 demographic.
Carlson ended the month averaging 2,930,000 viewers, a 40 percent bump from November 2015, when the time slot was occupied by “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”
WATCH:
TCT isn’t the only Fox show drawing huge audiences.
“The O’Reilly Factor,” “The Kelly File,” “Hannity,” “Special Report” and “The Five” still hold the top-five, respective positions for cable news’ most watched programs.
November was the the 192nd month O’Reilly topped all of television — averaging 4,089,000 viewers — and the highest rated month for Hannity since October 2013.
November marked the 179th month Fox News led all of cable news in total viewers.

He had a hijab wearing Muslim on that kept trying to say many more hate crimes committed by right wing extremists and he wasn’t letting her get away with it.
Tonight, it was some skirt, didn’t catch her name, claiming that we (mo’ phobes) cause the terrorists to do what they do.
Also, she claimed that the FBI has said that white hate groups kill more people than islamic terrorists in this country.
I’m sure that someone will post a youtube link to this tomorrow.
Tucker’s show is very good, so far.
However, the most fun I’m having right now regarding the news is turning on Fox until Miss Kelly’s show starts then, as soon was her show begins, I turn off Fox. Then I turn it back on just after her show ends.
heh heh
She actually said that!!!
Funny , but the white groups being compared to muslims , and their killing is outrageous. Good for Tucker to let her have it, and thank you for that info.
I’m now looking even more forward to seeing it tonight.
Tucker is a savage. Part of the Trump effect, more will be willing to have more backbone now that demoralization has been broken through.
Good for Tucker to let her have it. Thank you.
Ever since Tucker’s show came on, I’ve been recording both his and Lou Dobbs show. Both are excellent.
I hope he brings on Joe Trippi and asks him to defend his opinion that the only choice we peasants ever need to make in life is every 4 years.
Is Megayn Kelly still around?
Completely agree!
I like Carlson. Looks like I’m not alone.
I've been listening to the Fox News shows on Sirius Radio since the election and in the 7PM hour, flip back and forth between Lou Dobbs on Fox Financial and Tucker Carlson on Fox News. All of a sudden they've gotten very Trump-Friendly. Even that Meghan Kelly appears to be behaving herself.
Yes, we do the same thing - turn it off just before Me-Again, and back on just after — don’t want her getting credit for a single second !!!
HOORAY Tucker Carlson. I haven’t seen in a long, long time. From what I’m reading he appears to be doing a great job.
*high five!*
:-D
Nothing against Mr. Carlson, but let’s dissect the claim here: “Fox’s presidential month ratings were the highest since...wait for it...the last Presidential election. This year’s ratings were nearly twice as large as the ratings in a non-Presidential cycle year.”
Nothingburger? You decide.
He also seems rather skilled at letting his guests have all the rope they want and then gives it a yank at the right moment.
I can’t stand Hannity for more than a few seconds. I’d much rather listen to someone I disagree with than listen to Hannity harp on the same crap over and over and over and over.
I remember when this douchebag with the bow tie said PRESIDENT TRUMP had no chance.
FEDERAL POLITICIANS swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Consequences for those who VIOLATE the OATH!!!!!!!!
I still will tune him in to see who's going to be on his show but have to consciously over look his massive ego.
