Fox News Channel has been the most-watched cable news network for a whopping 71 straight quarters after dominating MSNBC and CNN during the third quarter of 2019.

Fox News averaged 2.4 million primetime viewers from 8-11 p.m. ET, while MSNBC averaged 1.5 million, and struggling CNN managed only a smidge over the one million mark.

FNC’s primetime trio finished as the three most-watched programs, as “Hannity” finished No. 1 on cable news, averaging 3.3 million nightly viewers. “Tucker Carlson Tonight” averaged 3.1 million to finish second and “The Ingraham Angle” averaged 2.6 million to finish third.

Unfortunately, they still have a$$ hats 🎩 like Shep Smith, Judge Napolitano, Juan William and Geraldo.

That’s probably true, but since it’s been years since I watched, I don’t know many of them.

MSNBC, CNN, would increase their viewer ratings if they presented “The Trump Rallies” to their audiences. It’s as simple as that....Broadcast the Trump Political Rallies and I can assure then the viewers will tune in. Remain as you are, and you like the Democrat Party will die off. Fox, C-Span, RSBN & OAN is wiping you out.

And, if old man Rupert Murdock (FNC/FBN) has an ounce of common sense and a sharp, wise functioning brain and 100% Trump & Conservative....that fool would double his viewer numbers, overnight!!!

Flux Faux News. They keep raising broadcast pricing and since it got pulled from Dish all the Fox channels are off their stations.

Pride goweth before the fall.

The Fox News prime time commentary shows are well worth watching. Although labeled as "commentary", truth is they break more actual news than all the so-called MSM combined.

As for Fox News news, it more or less is a regurgitation of DNC talking points. Their radio broadcasts at top and bottom of the hour are especially bad.

The irony is the Left actually thinks Fox News news is conservative. The dummies don't realize FNC is carrying water for them.

71 quarters = 23 years .... WOW

[griswold3]

Only watch Tucker. Did notice last night that Tucker had more diverse advertisers
Thought about getting a Copper compression shirt just for that reason

'Unfortunately, they still have a$$ hats 🎩 like Shep Smith, Judge Napolitano, Juan William and Geraldo." Don't look at them as a$$ hats, look at them as another voice added to the debate. Fox has more liberal commentators than the entire MSM has conservative commentators, combined. You forgot Donna Brazile, Schoen, Dershowitz and I am sure I can ind a few more. That is one thing the media won't report. Also, the media and the lefts efforts to shoot down conservative voices sends people to Fox. It is pretty much another case of unintended consequences.

[CodeToad]

I don’t think Hannity will be staying on Fox. They have it in for Trump.

[gimme1ibertee]

When your entire program lineup consists of “trump hate” 24/7/365, you’re gonna get crushed.
Keep up the good work, idiots.

[ontap]

Come on now...Fox has never claimed to be conservative....their claim is fair and balanced which they are!!!!

[Dan in Wichita]

their claim is fair and balanced which they are!!!!

Surely you jest.

[Cboldt]

Truth and lies presented as on equal footing vs. lies on top of lies.

They all suck pond water. None of them are honest brokers of info, save a few programs that try and come close.

Watched Jonah Goldberg imply that whistleblower against a president is “normal,” and that any claim that goes through an IG can’t be a leak, and [magically] becomes a good-faith claim. That’s ludicrous oon it’s face, about as sensible as saying all lawsuits have merit or are taken in good faith. Weak mind, weak argument. No awareness of the facts, or if he is aware, he is a liar.

[Night Hides Not]

71 quarters = 23 years .... WOW

New math? My old math says 71/4 = 17.75. lol

O/T, we went to Fort Sumter a few years ago. The Park Ranger was explaining the manning for the 17 gun batteries there. He asked, how many soldiers were needed if it takes 5 men to man a battery?

In an instant, I said matter of factly, "85". I got more than a few quizzical glances from teens there, like "how did you know that?"

[Mark17]

I used to like Jonah Goldberg. I think he is grasping at straws. Isn’t he just another useless never Trumper? I got no time for them.

[Cboldt]

Jonah Goldberg is a strong never Trumper. I don’t read his material. Maybe I’m missing some valuable insights but I don’t resepct him so don’t bother.
