Fox News Tops May Ratings But Sees Viewership Fall After Dropping Tucker Carlson From Primetime

The month of May was the first full month without cable news’ top primetime host, Tucker Carlson, and it showed. Fox News continued to top primetime and total day viewers, but the margins have narrowed considerably with MSNBC, which was the only major cable news network to see viewership gains...

Fox News averaged 1.42 million viewers in primetime, a 37% drop from the same month a year ago. MSNBC averaged 1.16 million viewers, an increase of 14% from May, 2022. CNN averaged 494,000, a drop of 25%.

In the 25-54 demo, Fox News averaged 135,000, down 62% from a year ago. MSNBC averaged 120,000, up 14%, while CNN posted 113,000, down 25%.

Losing 2/3 of your audience under 55 is a pretty big deal. Pretty much 90% of Fox News' viewers are 55+.

yeah and?

From CNN:
But what counts as a video view on Twitter is unclear. Musk himself said that “it simply counts if you saw the post on the X/Twitter app or via web browser, not how long you watched.” In contrast, Nielsen, the gold standard of television ratings, provides data on the average number of concurrent viewers, not the cumulative number of views. The two sets of data are apples and oranges.

So, twitters count doesnt mean nearly as much as TV ratings.. and recent hype will push these numbers up, i gaurentee in a few weeks, they go way down.

Exactly. We see a lot of the same comparisons with music. A song gets billions of views on YouTube as though that means something. Then you find out that lots of songs get billions of views. There's a repeat function on YouTube that allows you to repeat a video continually. So it's not as impressive as it sounds. Then you talk to the songwriters about what the billions of views means in terms of money, and it's a lot less than you'd expect.

We also have no idea how long any viewer watched.
