Fox News is racking up the highest ratings in its 13-year history.
The overall ratings at Rupert Murdoch’s network have shot up a remarkable 33% among Total Viewers and up 44% in the Adults 25-54 demographic in the last year. In primetime (Monday-Friday) the network’s dominance is even more shocking. It’s up 35% in Total Viewers and up 54% in younger viewers.
MSNBC and CNN have all but ceded primetime to Fox News, which racks up more total viewers and more younger viewers than the two runner up cable news networks combined.
You probably won’t find the following list taped on the refrigerator in the employee lounge at either MSNBC or CNN. It shows that Fox News has all ten of the most watched programs on cable news:
Time | Program | Total Viewers |
8pm | O’Reilly Factor | 3,188,000 |
9pm | Hannity | 2,341,000 |
5pm | Glen Beck | 2,053,000 |
10pm | On the Record | 1,950,000 |
6pm | Special Report | 1,889,000 |
7pm | Fox Report | 1,757,000 |
11pm | O’Reilly Factor | 1,579,000 |

MSNBC and CNN to both hitched their wagon to Obama’s horse. The horse has gone lame.
