The late-night hit \u2018Gutfeld!\u2019 was the most watched in the 25-54 age demographic and \u201cJesse Watters Primetime\u201d topped the 18-49 year old demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During its highest-rated fourth quarter ever (4,026,000 P2+; 429,000 A25-54), The Five made history by becoming the first non-primetime show to reach over four million viewers and by topping cable news in viewership for three straight years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an average of 3.4 million viewers and 331,000 in the 25\u201354 demographic, FNC\u2019s late afternoon ensemble program (weekdays, 5 PM\/ET) attracted the greatest audience of any cable news program in 2024. With The Ingraham Angle topping the 7 PM\/ET timeslot with 2.5 million viewers and 278,000 in the 25-54 demographic, FNC\u2019s primetime lineup dominated the cable news competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 3.1 million primetime viewers and 352,000 in the 25\u201354 demographic, Jesse Watters Primetime was the most popular cable news program at 8 PM\/ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hannity, which airs weekdays at 9 PM\/ET, attracted the third-largest viewership with 2.8 million viewers and 341,000 in the 25\u201354 demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Averaging 2.5 million viewers and 355,000 in the 25-54 demo, FNC\u2019s late-night hit Gutfeld! (weekdays, 10 PM\/ET) had its finest year since its debut, surpassing both cable and broadcast competition and earning the program\u2019s highest-ever rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gutfeld! dominated all cable news during the 25-54 demo. In terms of viewers and the 25\u201354 demographic, Gutfeld! continued to upend the late-night scene, surpassing broadcast shows like ABC\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS\u2019 The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and NBC\u2019s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said, \u201cThroughout coverage of a tumultuous political cycle, wars in the Middle East, and major breaking news events, millions of viewers across the political spectrum continued to tune into FOX News Channel for our unrivaled reporting and analysis. I am extremely proud of our entire team for proving once again why we are the nation\u2019s most-watched network, as we outpaced the competition in covering the stories that mattered most to everyday Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring the 2024 election cycle, more viewers turned to FNC than any other cable news network for historic political news, including the lead-up to and following election night, headline-grabbing interviews, presidential debate simulcasts, the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, the assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race. According to Nielsen Media Research, FNC was the most watched cable news network in every swing state, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin,\u201d Fox News said in a press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince the election, FOX News captured 72% of the cable news audience in primetime as MSNBC and CNN ushered in historic declines. In primetime, MSNBC has seen 65% of its A25-54 audience flee the channel, with the network delivering only 51,000 in A25-54 and 576,000 viewers (-57%). CNN has lost over half of its audience in primetime in the A25-54 demo, averaging 70,000 (-56%) in A25-54 and 378,000 viewers (-49%). FNC has notched 374 of the top cable news telecasts since the day after the election, with MSNBC and CNN failing to garner over two million viewers since November 6th,\u201d the press release added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More Independents than any other group get their news from the network, according to a YouGov\u00a0study\u00a0conducted during the election campaign.<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News finished 2024 with the highest audience share in nearly a decade and marked nine years in a row as the most-watched network in cable news&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10384,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10382"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10385,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10382\/revisions\/10385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
