When the controversial conservative host was abruptly let go, it initially seemed like he was taking a significant portion of the audience with him, and for some time, this appeared to be accurate. However, one year later, Fox News seems to have regained its footing\u2014at least for now. According to a statement from the network itself, Fox News experienced an exceptionally successful July.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement begins by highlighting several key statistics that are likely to sting Fox News&#8217; main competitors in the mainstream media arena. It states, &#8220;FNC is the only network to increase its audience compared to 2020 and 2016 while MSNBC and CNN have seen double-digit declines.&#8221; The network proudly declared that it finished July as the most-watched channel on television during weekday primetime, surpassing not just cable networks but also major broadcast channels like ABC, CBS, and NBC. They noted that their viewership in July reached record highs: &#8220;Achieving its best July ever and ranking among the top ten highest-rated months of all time,&#8221; FNC is unique in growing its audience relative to both 2020 and 2016 while competitors lost substantial viewership.<\/p>\n<p>According to Nielsen Media Research data cited by Fox News, FNC has seen significant growth among U.S. television networks\u2014gaining more viewers than any other channel\u2014and solidifying its position as a leading source for breaking news since November 2014 (with total day viewers at 60%). During notable events such as an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump and President Biden\u2019s first Oval Office address after announcing his re-election campaign&#8217;s end, FOX News Media led in viewership.<\/p>\n<p>Fox reported delivering 99 out of the top 100 cable news broadcasts during this period; MSNBC managed just one while CNN had none. July marked their highest ratings since November 2020 as more Independents tuned into FNC than any other network according to Nielsen MRI Fusion data. Additionally, FNC ranked first among upscale audiences as well as Asian and Hispanic viewers across total day viewership and within the key demographic of ages 25-54.<\/p>\n<p>Further into their release, Fox highlighted how dire things have been for their main rivals: \u201cNotably,\u201d they stated \u201cFNC saw double-digit increases with total day (+17%) viewers and primetime from 7-11 PM ET (+15%), whereas CNN suffered losses of about 47% in total day viewers and around 43% during primetime compared to figures from two years ago.\u201d They added that MSNBC also experienced declines with drops of approximately 40% across both categories when compared against previous years.<\/p>\n<p>While July of last year was historic for them overall; even immediately following Carlson\u2019s exit when they were perceived as weakened\u2014they still outperformed both MSNBC and CNN significantly\u2014a gap which appears only wider now after another year has passed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2317759,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture-75.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9373,32135,36940,3746],"class_list":["post-2317758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cnn","tag-fox-news","tag-media-ratings","tag-msnbc"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Picture-75.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2317758"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317758\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2317759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2317758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2317758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2317758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
