Due to the ever increasing industriousness of reader MikeS, the long term chart now includes Campbell Brown's viewership trend as well.
Long Term Trend of O'Reilly vs. Olbermann vs. Campbell Brown TV Ratings:
The trend lines above are 30 day moving averages.
For complete information on all cable news ratings check our daily cable news ratings posts.
I stopped producing these charts in the spring of 2009 because of lack of interest (some on my part, some on the readers), but energetic reader MikeS wanted to produce them, and I think they look better than mine did! Anybody else wanting to produce trend charts of any of our other data, drop me an email.

Wanted to thank the Keepers and Developers of this site. I really Enjoy it.

Thanks to the guys doing these charts for the guys that run the site too!
Thanks to Lindsay Graham, he’s now my favorite new republican for denouncing Birthers and Glenn Beck.
These are great looking charts!
Nicely done charts but a small bit of constructive criticism: in the second chart at the top where it says what each color means, the dots and their colors are almost impossibly small to see. So if it’s convenient maybe make that one part a little clearer.
There’s nothing wrong with Glenn Beck; maybe you should watch for yourself…
Noted and changed for next week Vetinari
Shouldn’t Nancy Grace be added to the mix? She now has more viewers than Campbell Brown.
Evidently Fox Network has great appeal for the intellectually impaired.

Well then if BSNBC and “Got no REAL News” CNN is the crowning glory of intellectuism, then I’m proud to be a member of the impaired masses!!
Fox news is not a legitimate news organization
All you brainwashed baby liberals who have been told that Fox News is evil need to grow up and start thinking for yourself. You need to watch different sources to get all sides not just left wing media. CNN and MSNBC are far left but I watch them occasionally and dont feel the need to dismiss them. Only an immature indoctrinated fool would completely dismiss the highest rated news channel on TV because some hypocritical closed minded far left wackos tell you, you should.
I don’t understand why this site posts the exact same story week after week. (and produces the exact same arguments among people) Fox has massively higher figures than MSNBC. That’s been abundantly clear for years. How many times do you have to post the same thing and for how many years? And what is the point?
If you think the site is pointless, why do you look at it moron? Maybe dreaming of the day your boy Odormann has an audience beyond lefty nutballs?
Hi Barney
I didn’t say the site was pointless, I said this particular endless exact same story week after week was pointless. (and no one had defended it or told me what the point is) Is your second name Rubble btw?
This is the first time I’ve visited this site. I have read comments from people about every imaginable subject across the web and the one thing that all have in common is rude people that either use foul language or insult others. The thing I find most amusing is the people that insist on calling others morons or idiots usually are the ones that make the most idiotic comments. O.K. I’ve braced myself and am prepared for the barrage of insults from those whose egos I have undoubtedly offended.
Just checking something.
Hey Shanon,
Someday maybe you will get a clue. Beck isn’t a fan of either party. He points out the stupidity of both. So who cares what little Lindsay has to say.
What is funny about Kieth Loserman is that he spends half his show badmouthing Fox and Billo. What do expect from a joke. And people wonder why Billo has 4 times the viewers. Has anyone noticed that Loserman has the same 5 guests each week. The winners from Washington Post, Daily Kos, and good ole Huffington Post.
O’Reilly took a dip on Friday night because Juan Williams was the guest host!! A liberal! I turned it off as soon as I saw who was sitting in for O’Reilly who gets WAY too many nights off. Try to work for a change O’Reilly.
