2012
saw Fox News mark 11 years as the number one cable news channel in
total viewers and the demo, though the election didn’t provide much in
the way of a ratings bump, with the network only up a bit in total
viewers, and down slightly in the demo.
- Primetime: 2.043 million total viewers/ 423,000 A25-54
- Total Day: 1.152 million total viewers/ 273,000 A25-54
Unlike CNN, which was down in both total and demo viewers just about
every hour, and MSNBC, which was up in both categories just about every
hour, Fox News had some high points and low points, with most of its
programs roughly on par with their 2011 performances. That said, the
network still drew more viewers than CNN, MSNBC and HLN combined in
primetime. It was also the second-highest delivery for the network ever
in total viewers.
The network’s dayside news programming saw the most consistency, with
the 10 AM edition of “America’s Newsroom” and the 11AM and 12PM
installments of “Happening Now” posting growth in both total and demo
viewers. “America Live” at 1 PM and 2 PM was up double digits in the
demo and high single digits in total viewers compared to 2011.
During
the fourth quarter, FNC was the number two cable channel in total day,
behind only Nickelodeon, the first time that has happened since 2003. It
was a very close number three in primetime. (Full Story)
