July Ratings: Fox News Beats MSNBC & CNN Combined in Total Day and Prime
Fox News Channel continued its cable news dominance in July not only beating CNN and MSNBC combined, but showing the most growth in the younger demo. In A25-54 viewers, FNC is up 48% in total day, and up 70% in primetime, compared to July '08.
FNC had 9 of the top 10 shows in cable news in Total Viewers and ranks as the third most-watched basic cable channel behind USA and TNT.
Cable news' #1 show for 104 consecutive months, "The O'Reilly Factor", is up 37% over July '08. "Glenn Beck Program" is up the most, up 120% over last year's 5pmET show. "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" is up 60% and "Hannity" is up 41%.
- FNC's audience expanded in all categories during July 2009, besting CNN and MSNBC combined in viewership (for both Total Day and Prime) according to Nielsen Media Research.
- In the key 25-54 demographic, FNC posted the largest gains among all cable news networks in both Total Day and Prime Time – increasing an extraordinary 48% and 70% respectively when compared to July 2008.
- Among basic cable networks, FNC ranked third for the month in prime time viewership behind only USA Network and TNT, with CNN and MSNBC lagging behind at 15th and 26th, respectively, while continuing to battle each other for third place in cable news.
- FNC also secured nine out of the top 10 rated programs in cable news for the month based on total viewership. The O'Reilly Factor marked #1 for 104 consecutive months in July and led all programs with 3,075,000 viewers, ending the month up 37% over July 2008. Hannity was second, up 41%. Other notables include: On the Record with Greta Van Susteren (up 60%); Glenn Beck (up 120%); The FOX Report with Shepard Smith (up 36%)

Damn... You just don't stop, do you?
Faux always cheers on television ratings when they lose out on everything else. CNN and MSNBC do better on unique web hits, YouTube requests and even on iPhone application downloads. All this tells us is that people who follow the other networks are willing to get their news from more modern sources while the folks that follow Faux are still planning their entire day around the boob tube. Or a flat screen if they actually joined us in the 21st Century.

But I guess any victory is better than none, isn't it? :rolleyes:

LOL.

Then perhaps CNN and MSNBC should pack it up and just become internet news sites! Because they've been summarily beaten in the arena they are actually IN...which would be...Cable Television News.

Fox News is a single gathering place for conservatives (i.e. people who believe that Obama is not a citizen, and believe that Darwin was wrong, and believe that democracy should be promoted worldwide through wars) to congregate.


Conservatives come to this single place.


Liberals go to CNN, MSNBC, ABC Evenig News, CBS Evening News, NBC Evening News --- if conservatives are correct, it's ALL left-wing mainstream media.

Liberals are spread out all over the tv landscape. Conservatives go to Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck to get "informed". So of course the Fox News numbers are bloated because so much dead weight is concentrated in one place.

That's right, Trinity...
Embrace 70+ year old technology. :rolleyes:

Besides, if you seen the number of unique hits CNN makes in one month, it tops all of the viewership Faux gets in half a year. You know, of we really had to inject a value to the numeral stats.

Um, nothing FOX does qualifies as news.

And those statistics are massaged.
Break them down by demographic.
MSNBC is far and away preferred by folks UNDER the age of incipient senility.

Advertisers will gladly trade you ALL the viewers over 50 for all the viewers between 18 and 35.


And, just out of curiosity- how much does Fox news pay you for this gig of salting propaganda on internet forums?

DO you get paid by the post? Or a salary?

This is a good thing as it indicates their marginalization. One single source for propaganda, disinformation and hate. One swift and decisive Air Force strike could take them out. Trinity would have to get a new job.

cnn.com has four times the users as foxnews.com. Source.

CNN is lucky to have the 30-something spenders demographic, rather than the 50-somthing savers. Their income must be must be much higher than Fox News'.

Here's the Fox News Hero in action:
YouTube - Bill O'Reilly freaks out on intern

I never knew there were so many touchy liberals on here. Fox News is an oasis of sanity in a crazy world. Don't you all wonder how or why FN has become so popular in such a short time? They're reporting things RIGHT. Thanks for the post, Trinity!

Wow, Fox is at the average for across the Nation. And Bill O'Reilly is pretty high up there....hmmm and O'Reilly is #1 in the Nation!

Since this was 2007...before the election I wonder what a survey today would show. Especially since Fox is killing CNN & MSNBC.

Nah. Not touchy. Just smarter.

For example, an intelligent person would realize that this is bullshit and not news.

Let's see... 15 divided by 23= 65.2%. That's good solid D. Way to go Fox News viewers!!

oops! wait a minute.... That's 35% that earned the D. The other 65% musta been D- or F... :yikes:

half truths and innuendo= oh i don't know perhaps any news show on Fox.. Just wait until you see what Rupert does with the Wall Street Journal now that he owns it. It'll be a barrel of laughs.
