Fox News Hits Ratings Highs, MSNBC Sputters in Busy Week

Rick Kissell
August 25, 2014 | 03:31PM PT
A busy week in news was a good one for Fox News Channel, which logged its second highest-rated frame of the year, but a weak one for MSNBC, which found itself deep in third place.

FNC, with several shows hitting 2014 highs, won in adults 25-54 and total viewers on both a primetime and total-day basis for Monday through Friday of last week. Tune-in was above average across the news board due to coverage of the protests in Ferguson and the murder of James Foley.

Looking at the Nielsen numbers, Fox News averaged 443,000 adults 25-54 in primetime to finish ahead of CNN (361,000) in the key news demo, with both networks more than doubling the tally of MSNBC (179,000). CNN had narrowly won in the demo on Monday and Tuesday, before Fox News asserted itself Wednesday through Friday.

In total-day numbers, FNC averaged 272,000, to 241,000 for CNN and just 106,000 for MSNBC.

The only week to rate higher for Fox News this year was the State of the Union frame in January.

As usual, it was no contest in total viewers, with Fox News (2.25 million in primetime, 1.26 million total-day) beating the combined tune-in of CNN (901,000 in primetime, 690,000 in total-day) and MSNBC (737,000 in primetime, 402,000 in total-day).

Among the highlights for Fox News was “The Kelly File” drawing its largest weekly demo audience of the calendar year (455,000), while “Hannity” had its most-watched week of the year (1.84 million) and its highest-rated demo performance to date in the 10 o’clock hour (421,000). Daytime shows “Outnumbered” and “Happening Now” also hit some 2014 highs.

They're different partisan blowhards at Faux. They also have o standards of journalism. Mixing editorial content freely with unsubstantiated rumor and inaccurate reporting that CNN could never dream of i their shooting from the hip heyday. Faux shoots from roughly the same area , towards back center on the anatomy.

Must be the liberals helping those ratings out.

Liberals must have something better to do, or at least watch, at prime time than stay glued to a 24 hour talking head channel. With 2.25 million prime time viewers, FNC would rank around #156 among network TV programs.

It's hardly inconceivable.

MSNBC offers tepid warmed-over conservatism— liberals won't watch it because it's far to the right of the center, centrists won't watch it because it's far to the right of the center, and conservatives won't watch it because they demand absolute ideological purity and MSNBC doesn't live up to their expectations.

Meanwhile, Fox makes a point of being an unapologetic extremist group so the wingnuts come flocking.

I'm sure I've posted this before, but here's the basic summary of American news TV right now:

The event: The Republicans and Democrats play against each other in a Senate baseball game. The Democrats win 20-0.

The conservative Fox reports that the Republicans won 20-0.
The "centrist" CNN reports that the game was tied 10-10.
The "liberal" MSNBC reports that the Democrats won 20-19.
