If you’re not on Fox, your ratings picture is pretty grim. All Fox hosts have higher ratings than all their competitors combined. Here’s what it looked like on the night of August 10.
We call your attention to the Glenn Beck ratings. Considering his time slot is during work and drive-home hours for the vast majority of America, his numbers are astounding. Perhaps a rearrangement of the Fox News line-up is in order.
| Network | Program | Total Audience |
|---|---|---|
| Fox News | O’Reilly | 3,814,000 |
| Fox News | Hannity | 3,118,000 |
| Fox News | Beck | 2,417,000 |
| Fox News | Greta | 2,388,000 |
| Fox News | Baier | 1,988,000 |
| Fox News | Shep | 1,833,000 |
| MSNBC | Olbermann | 1,243,000 |
| MSNBC | Maddow | 1,082,000 |
| CNNHN | Grace | 875,000 |
| CNN | Griffin | 810,000 |
Remarkably, even Fox News’ primetime fringe programs (Beck, Baier and Shep Smith) garner far higher numbers than the other networks’ primetime hosts.
And for the week of August 3, Fox found itself in the top five among all cable networks with the other news networks way back in the pack. Fox has been ranked in the top five for 31 straight weeks.
| Network | Total Day Rank | Primetime Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Fox News | 6 | 3 |
| CNN | 23 | 23 |
| MSNBC | 29 | 22 |
To sum up, it ain’t pretty if it ain’t Fox.
