Fox News Remains Ratings Champ As 2013 Comes to Close
Fox News Channel maintained its grip on the cable-news network ratings prize in 2013, drawing more viewers than the combined averages of CNN, MSNBC and HLN.It was a down year in terms of overall audience, as every newsie but HLN showed declines from their Presidential Election-driven tallies of 2012.
According to Nielsen data through Dec. 8, Fox News Channel averaged 1.774 million viewers in primetime (down 13% from 2012) and 297,000 adults 25-54 (down 30%). It was followed by MSNBC with 645,000 viewers and 203,000 adults 25-54 (down 29% in both); CNN with 578,000 (down 15%) and 187,000 adults 25-54 (down 16%); and HLN with 403,000 total viewer (up 21%) and 142,000 in the demo (up 27%).

I find it interesting that with all their ratings, they are unable to get a Republican in the White House. :thumbs:Interesting how the trend continues. I find Fox to be the best of the named channels.
I think the credibility of MSNBC and CNN isnt great this year either.
I don't watch the news channels during prime time, I do during the day when the news is on. I switch back and forth between Fox and CNN depending when the commercials are on. If both have a commercial at the same time then it is ESPN for a few minutes and then back to the news.
I wish this would mean that we don't have to hear so much whining about "main stream media" bias, but somehow I doubt it.

Well, until Fox averages 6 to 9 million viewers like each of the news programs from ABC, NBC and CBS do each night, liberal media bias is still a big problem in our country.

Any comments on the differences you note during the day (before the commentators as you note)?
Ke$ha's single "Tik Tok" has sold more copies than any Beatles single ever did.
Therefore, she is the superior artist.

Each of those programs get about 20 minutes of news if they are lucky, the remainder of the time is for commercials.Well, until Fox averages 6 to 9 million viewers like each of the news programs from ABC, NBC and CBS do each night, liberal media bias is still a big problem in our country.
I dont know that the function of a cable news network is to get anyone in the whitehouse.
Do you see that as a legitimate function of our supposedly adversarial media?
Gosh, it amazes me that a free station would have more viewers than a fee for service station. It must be the same reason that more people ride the subway/city bus than use limousine services. The prefer the quality of service.

No, I really don't, but that doesn't stop Fox from trying. I hope they do keep trying because they haven't succeeded yet. Strange as it may seem, I think because they get so deeply involved in the politics they'll lose every time.I dont know that the function of a cable news network is to get anyone in the whitehouse.

Are you disagreeing with my point, or just being a smart-ass?
Tell that to Fox News, then, since they tried desperately to do just that.
