One Year into New Primetime Lineup, Fox News Continues Ratings Dominance
By: Al Weaver
After 18 years on the air, Fox News looks to be stronger than ever.
Who owns the cable ratings these days? Why, that would continue to be Fox News
Exactly one year into their new primetime lineup, Fox News is dominating the ratings in news, while also becoming one of the highest rated networks in all of cable.
Fox News has ranked among the top five highest-rated networks 96 percent of the time, Nielsen Media Research reports. They’ve also cracked the top three 82 percent of the time as well.
Much of that success can be attributed to the addition of the “Kelly File,” which took over for “Hannity” in the 9 p.m. slot.
Kelly’s program, while averaging 2.5 million viewers nightly through its first year, has delivered greatly for the network, bringing forth the most growth of any cable news program, while increasing its viewership since its debut last October.
In the last quarter, Kelly has ticked up 36 percent in total viewers and 27 percent in the demo (25-54 demographic), according to Nielsen.
