Say What?? Fox News bests CNN and MSNBC COMBINED in cable news ratings

[Prince.Skeletor]

This is VERY surprising.



Fox News topped MSNBC and CNN combined in the cable news ratings race for the month of October, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Overall, Fox averaged 2.8 million total viewers in prime time, up 25 percent from October 2017. MSNBC placed second in the category, with 1.58 million viewers, while CNN finished third, with 931,000 viewers, during the time period.

In the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic advertisers covet most, CNN fared better than MSNBC, averaging 290,000 viewers to 281,000. Fox News won that category with 540,000 viewers.

The top programs in cable news for October were Fox News's "Hannity," with an average of 3.5 million viewers; "Tucker Carlson Tonight," with 3.23 million; "The Ingraham Angle," with 2.97 million; "The Five," with 2.84 million; and "Special Report with Bret Baier," with 2,668,000.

It makes sense because if you’re a republican, you’re only watching that shyt.

Whereas everyone else is watching different programs, splitting the views

Not surprising, it's the only major right leaning news channel, so all the wingnuts conglomerate there.

The main consumers of 24/7 news is aging boomers.

When you systemically convince your viewers that every other information distribution outlets are satanic, violent, baby-killing, tan suit wearing communists you tend to have a high retention rate
