They are suffering because the very smart, even brilliant, Magadonians know that, despite all the fake lip service, FoxNews is pushing Ron DeSanctus, or anyone else for that matter, because they hate the greatest &#8216;America first&#8217; president to ever put on a suit and tie, me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<footer>&#8211; Former President Donald Trump<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Primetime Demographic Viewership<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fox News: 135,000 viewers (62% YoY decline)<\/li>\n<li>MSNBC: 120,000 viewers (14% YoY increase)<\/li>\n<li>CNN: 113,000 viewers (25% YoY decline)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In comparison, Fox News averaged some 2.09 million primetime viewers in the first quarter of 2023. That was likely due to Carlson&#8217;s influence, as the former host would routinely draw more than 3 million viewers during his 8 p.m. ET show.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the decline, Fox News&#8217; &#8220;The Five&#8221; remains the No. 1 cable news TV show, with 2.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fox-news-feels-the-pain-one-month-after-tucker-carlsons-exit\/\" title=\"Fox News suffers a month after Tucker Carlson's departure.\">6 million average total viewers<\/a> and 267,000 viewers in the demographic on average. Fox News host Jesse Watters also averaged more than 2 million viewers per episode, the ratings show.<\/p>\n<h3>Changes in Primetime Line-Up<\/h3>\n<p>Since Carlson&#8217;s departure in late April, the channel has rotated several of its top hosts during the 8 p.m. timeslot. Reports have indicated that the replacement show, &#8220;Fox News Tonight,&#8221; will be hosted by anchor Harris Faulkner next week. A recent report suggested Fox News is plotting to move host Sean Hannity to the 8 p.m. slot, but a Fox News spokesperson told The Epoch Times last month that there hasn&#8217;t been a decision.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump Criticism<\/h3>\n<p>The network has also been forced to deal with criticism from former President Donald Trump, who was publicly critical of Fox News&#8217; decision to part ways with Carlson. Late last week, Trump said that Fox should pivot to get better ratings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5293921\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/26\/id5293921-Trump-and-Hannity-1200x675.jpg\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/05\/26\/id5293921-Trump-and-Hannity-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"Donald Trump and Sean Hannity\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<p>His campaign also said that his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tv-network-ratings-drop-during-bidens-first-full-week-in-office\/\" title=\"TV Network Ratings Drop During Biden\u2019s First Full Week in Office\">town hall event<\/a> with Hannity last Thursday p<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News&#8217; primetime ratings have dropped 37% YoY to 1.42 million since Tucker Carlson left six weeks ago, according to Nielsen ratings.
