FOX News continues to haemorrhage viewers.
The top FOX News shows are all getting trounced by the CNN and MSNBC competition. But maybe if FOX News ups their game they will capture some of the leftist crowd in the near future.
ShowBuzz Daily has the latest ratings and they are UGLY for FOX News.
Larry Schweikert reported tonight that FOX News lost nearly half of their audience.
We have not been able to confirm this. [Tweet]

I hope the Republicans in Congress are paying attention! If we can take away 50% of the FOX Ratings, we can also take away 50% of our support for ALL Republicans who are not supporting President in this fight against Biden't FRAUDULENT election! We mean business, Mitch, pay attention!

I find the headline a little misleading. I agree people are leaving Fox, but I don’t think CNN or MSNBC are gaining from Foxes loss but other conservative networks are.

It's hard to describe, but I've found Tucker hedging his favorable view of the president. If anyone else has noticed that and can describe how better than I, please give it a shot.

Before stabbing their viewers in the back, it's too bad Fox News didn't check with the Dixie Chicks to see how well that went with them.

"Nearly" half? I always thought anything above 50% was more than half. Whatever, can't say I be shedding any tears, but I wonder what the primetime hosts are thinking about this.

You could say this major drop in viewership was caused by FOX corporate suicide. Apparently the high level FOX news Channel corporate leadership is intent on becoming another leftist and liberal Democrat supporting TV channel that’s why they have been featuring a lot of partisan Democrats on their shows, and have been replaying a lot of the anti-Trump and Democrat supporting videos created by the likes of CNN and MSNBC. That’s not what the old and mostly conservative FOX News Channel viewer base tune into the FOX News Channel to hear and see.

Yes, they could have checked with the Dixie Chicks, #5, or with Megyn what's-her-name....
50% bailed immediately, the other 50% will trail off until it is down to about 10% who don't really know what they are watching.

Wow, you said it, #9. FOX has not begun to see the basement ratings-wise. Should the criminal administration be installed, nobody will be tuning in to watch the Uniparty sycophants prop up Joe and Kamala.

I have not completely left Fox, however, after Fox and Friends i change the channel or turn off the tv. We will watch Tucker et al after 8. As the great B.B. King would sing (i miss this great bluesman), the thrill is gone. Okay, maybe it wasn't a thrill, but an appreciation and trust... loose trust and you're gonzo.
There are many people, hosts and regular guests, whom we (in our family) really like and respect and enjoy to completely shun the channel. However, we watch in the morning and after 8 evenings (and even after 8 might mean an hour or two, may get through Laura depending on her guests and how much she lets them talk).
There's NO way conservatives are going to turn to CNN and other leftist boobinskies, where they have never given President Trump fair coverage (certainly not good, never any credit for his accomplishments, nothing).
What a shame: right before our very eyes, we saw a successful enterprise trash its own lifeblood.
Let's see if there's ever a "mea culpa."

While Fox's ratings may be down, to say they are being trounced by CNN and MSNBC is BS. The article implies that former viewers of FOX have switched to CNN and MSNBC. What's more likely the cause is that former viewers of FOX have just stopped watching any news network, or have switched to NEWSMAX, which just brings FOX ratings down a bit closer to the other networks. My theory is that the only reason CNN is still on the air is because it's broadcast in every airport in the country. Nothing else is on while waiting for your flight. It's CNN or nothing. I just choose nothing and walk around.

Tucker, Laura and Sean, whenever he isn’t re informing us about his marital arts powers, are still worth watching. Also Mark Levin and Mark Steyn in their occasional beautiful appearances. News Max and OANN are a welcome relief if you have to waste some time watching TV.

It isn't within them to pay attention to anything outside of their personal bubbles. That is why they are loathed and hated so much by the American public. I just want Trump to go scorched earth on them, no matter what shakes out over the next several weeks. I am guessing though that Ryan's 'punishment' will not happen until after this all finally finishes. I hope he is sacked in the most public and humiliating way from the Faux Board. Their problems are on his hands, nobody else's.

FTA:
Faux ratings collapse in Dec:
Ingraham -61%
Hannity -57%
Carlson -51%
Compared to what? Last month, last year?
I am mad at Fox for their dreadful election night coverage. And I hope Bret and his crew learned from their mistakes —- early call on Arizona, grossly incorrect call on House of Rep., and glaring lack of Congressional and Governors coverage. Since the election I have turned to Newsmax shows —-Spicer and Kelly at the expense of Bret and Martha. But have not abandoned Fox. I watch F & F, Tucker, Sean and Laura. Remember, posters, Fox was all we had for 25 years. And I think it is misguided to take an all or nothing approach.

I will never forgive FOXNews for that way too early Arizona call. They had a fox in the henhouse at their Decision Desk, Arnod Mishkin, who is a democrat donor and, I think, a major player in the overall election fraud conspiracy. I want him interrogated thoroughly, along with Ruby Freeman in Fulton County, GA.
I always liked Steve Doucy, Brian Kilmeade, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, and Maria Bartiromo, but I have not watched ANYTHING on FOX since Nov. 4th, and will not going forward. I find out what I need to know from this site, and otherwise, I am less stressed. If you watch anything on FOX, you pay all of them, even the neverTrump anchors.
I hope they die a quick death and the true conservatives end up in a good place that does not betray their faithful viewers.

I don't believe Fox is really evil like the other fake networks and media. Those people are true "Scientologists" that can lie all day as sincerely as a priest and never crack a smile. No, Fox is not evil they are just suckers. They are the kind of people who can go into a casino and have the house steal hand after hand and then just come back tomorrow for more. They are worse than evil, they are pathetic. They pretend to be patriots but in the end as long as they get their big contracts and rub elbows with their elite buddies they are willing to read whatever management puts up on the teleprompter even it if lulls people into accepting national suicide.
Those who know and preserve the truth will never forget those who fought and those who abandoned the field in cowardice when their time came. As Steve Bannon has repeatedly points out on his podcast we better get this right because it will be a wound that will never heal if we don't.

Brit Hume - a premier self-anointed elite - is tweeting something negative about President Trump. (Doesn't he realize that Trump has been carrying the networks for years?)
Brit does not even know that the "heard it on the news, so it must be true" mantra is all over.

#4 me too. I gave up on Tucker back when he was telling Trump to take firmer action in the cities. It was not good advice, though thrillingly delivered. I think he salts his talks with a selection of things people want to hear said, but the takeaway is never something all that helpful. And sometimes with just an edge of not quite mockery. I also do not like it that I get the impression this very rich guy is messing up his hair on purpose to look as if he just hitched a ride to work after his shift at the fast food joint. That mussy hair is also mockery imo.

I learned a good lesson in the art of acting conservative when I saw a news person move from Fox to CNN. They were just as passionate on the other side. So the best news person is apparently a good actor.
I can trust the emotions I see in Lou Dobbs.

I guess bored people have to watch something, even the Leftist Loon fake news shows, but it's great to hear that Fox has paid dearly for betraying their once-solid audience and will continue to pay. When Mike the Pillow Guy pulls his support we will know that they are officially done. I hope Hannity, Laura and Tucker are having discussions about their future.

Even Mr. Pillow, Mike Lindell has said adios to FOX News. He's advertising everywhere else.
When Fox News gets down to 30% market share, I predict it will be sold. The new owner will buy it for a lot less than previously worth and then will try to turn it back to the old FOX News. That may not work unless they have the right formula. Right now, I'm very happy with NewsMax and OAN and several new online news site, like the Populist Press, Revolver, Real American Voice, Citizens Free Press, The National Pulse to name a few.
I catch Tucker on a streaming channel and the same for Maria's Sunday Morning Futures. Also pick up Lou Dobbs on the YouTube channel.

Fox had many examples from which to learn before they shot themselves in the foot. Hollywood, NBA, NFL, various ex-presidents and ex-celebrities, many commercial enterprises. They disrespected Donald Trump, the American people, our flag, our religion, our way of life. We like freedom, our religion, guns, our borders and our independence. We don't like Leftists, dictators, liberals, black sacred cows, criminals, public displays of sexual deviation, fake history and propaganda.
All you have to do is pay attention to your audience, fire Williams, Brazille and Wallace and you may get some of us back. Maybe.

Many of the stars on Fox made millions championing the values of conservatives. Staying with this disgraceful network reveals their true motivations. I hope their ratings drop to zero. I have been Fox-free since the election, removed their app and NEVER watch anything Fox related on YouTube or anywhere. My way of voting them off the island.

@10 I still have one eye on Fox but if Peepin Joe and the laughing hyena get in office, I'm totally done with news - everywhere. Did it for 8 years when Zippy was in office and I can darned well do it again. I don't think media or the morons in DC have a clue what is possibly going to happen come January 6.

More than happy to do our fair share in never watching Fox News again!!!!
We took it off our "favorites" list, so it never even comes up any more. Much like Drudge, Fox totally forgot who their fan base was. I guess it's time for them to turn even more lie-beral to try to salvage any viewership at all. But it won't include our home no matter what they do!!!

People forget the basic premise behind Trump's success. He never has been Trump and his followers. It has always been the people (Those people who make up America ,Tea Party,Conservatives, most of Real America) choosing a candidate that turned out to be Trump, to speak for them. Their ideas have not changed. When dissing on their choice you are also dissing on most of America.
Fox's rise when supporting American ideas, and now fall when dissing American ideas is predictable and not dependent on Trump..

"The D.H." Cavuto was the last straw for me. He might as well have KNELT. NewsMax works just fine ... only the brain-dead will go to CNN or MSNBC. The new FOX "modern" management has its own agenda, and it is not conservative. So, I've got a finger for ya right here, boys.

From a business point of view, the management of FOX are idiots. ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and MSBN are all fighting for the left wing viewers and they are jumping in to get a tiny piece of that market when they had nailed the conservative viewers. Some people should never let their kids inherit their businesses

How are CNN and MSNBC doing well?? I can't see former Fox viewers going there. I don't get cable but if I did, I would still watch the good hosts at Fox. I don't throw away the baby with the bath water. I still like Ingraham, Levin, Hannity, Pirro, and a few others. They deserve support.

I don't, and haven't, watched ANY TV news, election coverage, whatever, in years, so I can't contribute to this demise. May have missed some good stuff on Levin or Tucker or whomever over time, but probably read a synopsis of it in less time on this site or others. I've read the comments posted here over the years and my thoughts are - how can you spend all your time sitting there watching so much TV unless you're bedridden.
Don't even know if NEWSMAX or OANN are even on my cable lineup or why I'm even still paying for a cable TV package. If my wife didn't turn on the TV - how many reruns of HGTV home improvement shows can one person watch or non stop Christmas movies, and I won't sit in the room with her with the TV on - I might turn it on once a month max unless we find a series like Bosch to watch. Would rather read, it's quieter.
