Fox News reportedly maintained its status as the most-watched cable news network by recording its second-highest-rated third quarter in history, surpassing rivals ABC and CBS.
This achievement marked a remarkable 91 consecutive quarters at the top of the primetime ratings.
This quarter, the network achieved its highest share since early 2023, capturing 52% of the total day viewers and 53% of the primetime audience, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The channel’s audience increased by 43% in total day viewers and 93% in the 25-54 demographic during primetime.
Viewer interest in Fox News’ prime-time lineup and historic political coverage during the late-stage presidential campaign was the primary factor contributing to its dominance.
