7/27/16 Not only did Fox come in at the front of the pack yet again, they achieved their highest ratings in more than a decade. (Mediaite)
Though racked by internal scandal and jolted the dismissal of its founder and guiding star Roger Ailes, Fox News came in #1 in total viewers beating all cable networks in both primetime and total day during the week of the Republican National Convention.
During last week — from Monday, Jul. 18 to Sun, Jul. 24 — the cable news network was also #1 among all cable networks in primetime (8pm-11pm) for the coveted demographic of viewers aged 25-54. For primetime Fox averaged 4,212,000 viewers in total and 932,000 in 25-54…
Furthermore, FNC crushed the broadcast networks in total viewers at 10PM/ET with convention coverage, and was just behind NBC at number two in the 25-54 demo.
FNC also claimed nine out of the top 10 telecasts in cable for the week, leading with America’s Election HQ on Thursday, July 21st, anchored by Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly, which averaged 9.7 million viewers and 2.6 million in adults 25-54 at 10PM.
Don't get too excited, they are running a distant 3rd to CNN's 1st this week. I can't stand any of them anymore!
