Fox News daytime ratings drop by 32% in two weeks since the election

Fox News' total viewership also fell an astounding 32% in the two weeks after the Nov. 3 election compared to its viewership the two weeks before the election.

While Fox News' viewership dropped, the viewership for CNN and MSNBC increased to near parity. In weekday average daytime viewership, Fox News garnered 1.63 million viewers, CNN received 1.68 million viewers, and MSNBC received 1.71 million viewers.

But despite the precipitous drop in daytime, Fox continues to beat the competition in total numbers of viewers during prime-time hours.

Fox News averaged 2.98 million viewers in prime time, with CNN averaging 2.05 million, and MSNBC seeing an average of 2.18 million viewers.

1. How does it feel?

Maybe not to be on their own--yet.

Bu it can't be pleasant but to acknowledge to their stockholders that that their financial survival depended on a completely deranged lunatic fringe that no one wants to say they depend on.

2. Unfortunately it's the trumpers causing this.

I wish it was a different reason. Trumpers are smug enough to now be able to brag about taking down a major network.

11. I read yesterday that Murdoch was considering paying

Trump off so he won't take the viewers over to Newsmax or OAN

12. It'd be funny if not so pathetic.

3. thoughts and prayers

and many giggles

4. that's going to sting.

They got into bed with the Pig, he f**ked Fox too....LOL.

[Aristus]

5. There's almost no chance this is going to inspire the execs to become a legitimate news outlet.

They'll just pull further and further to the right to try and win back their demented erstwhile followers...

6. They might recruit progressives to make up difference.

They need some Keith Olbermann, Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes on their network.

7. they are sure squirming right now with the flynn news

[Journeyman]

8. Prime time Fox viewers: 2.98 million, combined CNN/MSNBC: 4.23 million . . .

Yeah, they're just skating away . . .

9. I thought this was fairly normal after an election

I almost spit when I saw "the blaze" used as a source here

10. It's fun watching trumpsters eat each other alive

[Brainfodder]

13. Just fire all the liars and replace with reruns of HeeHaw, done.

NEXT!

[Brother Mythos]

14. I can't wait to learn how much that drop in viewership ...

cost them in advertising revenue. I love seeing organizations like Fox paying a monetary price for their deceit.

[redstatebluegirl]

15. Do not get excited they have moved to OAN

and Newsmax, they are more delusional than Fox if that is possible.

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

16. I'm glad that fox ratings are down, but ...

this doesn't necessarily mean that all of the lost fox viewers have switched to a different news channel.

When their candidate loses, many people will get depressed and go into withdrawal and stop watching all news. I would bet that some of the fox deserters have started watching cartoons or re-runs of old roseanne episodes instead of another news channel.
