And The Number One Cable Network Is.......

[Patranus]

Not the top cable news network

THE TOP CABLE CHANNEL....

Fox News was ranked No. 1 in the Nielsen ratings among all cable channels in prime time last week, narrowly beating the normally first-place USA Network. Its last victory over USA came during the presidential election week in 2008.

For the week, Fox News averaged 3.21 million viewers in prime time, while USA averaged 3.19 million.

Well there's a lot more that 3 million stupid people, so FOX has only scratched that surface.


I wonder what the other 300 million people are watching?

American Idol.

Really the reason they got this was because of the Scott Brown effect and everybody watching the election coverage.

Not CNN or MSNBC that is for sure...

Primetime
FNC: 6,161,000 total viewers (1,901,000 in A25-54)

MSNBC: 1,138,000 total viewers (387,000 in A25-54)

Thank goodness, imagine how stupid a nation we'd be if there were that many Cable News Junkies.

 

[Red Dawn]

BTW Conan had numbers like that @11:30 PM and got fired.

You shouldn't talk with your mouth full.

 

[Steeplerot]

lol @ old people who still watch a TeeVee unit.

 

[Red Dawn]

Well, only 62 million households have cable TV....

With an average of 4 people per household. I guess they have a life.

OTA TV reaches every household.......

(think for a minute)

You think for a minute, out of 62 million households that have on the average 4 people per house which adds up to 248 million and only a little over 3 million watch FOX News? At 11:30 there's more people with Cable watching the Tonight Show or even better, the Late Show than at any time of the day watching FOX.

 

[Lemon law]

Question, did Fox numbers get inflated because they carried the Saints Viking game playoff game? I watched parts of that game on OTA TV, and I can't remember ever watching a football game so poorly announced and unprofessionally produced.

It wasn't on FOX News.

Fox news =! Fox sports lol

 

[Red Dawn]

Fox news =! Fox sports lol

No kidding FOX Sports viewership dwarfs FOX News viewership

 

[Patranus]

Fox news =! Fox sports lol

Fox Sports != Fox (Network)

 

[Fizzorin]

That's an awful lot of stupid people

No it's not. It's a small number of stupid people. The ~30 million people who watch an American Idol finale is an awful lot of stupid people.

Hell, the Fox News rating is lower than the number of idiots who watch Jersey Shore (3.7 million).

 

[OutHouse]

Not CNN or MSNBC that is for sure...

lol HLN at 600K viewers... that is really pathetic.

 

[UberNeuman]

Normally has higher ratings than Fox News programs....

 

[werepossum]

Normally has higher ratings than Fox News programs....

Yes, but a majority of Spongebob viewers are not adults with functioning brains - sort of like MCNBC audiences in that respect. . .

 

[Patranus]

Yup
