Foxnews wins again!
Yes Fox News won again, but the ratings have fallen a great deal.
It’s Spring…people were out and about…..probably doing their last minute income tax.
Fox RULES..while CNN and MSNBC continue their spiraling fall along with their Messiah Obama.
MSNBC usually wins the 25-54 demo on Saturday and Sundays. Fox News still has a bigger audience and they simply wipe-out the competition during the work week when most people are more focused on world affairs.
FNC needs to rethink its weekend lineup for programs to a younger audience.
Hey there Ralphie Boy!!!!
@ FNC needs to rethink its weekend lineup for programs to a younger audience.
I dont think they care! With this line up they stay on top and dont have to spend anymore money to do it.
@Ralph: Fox could run weekend prison Doc’s? Let’s the young-ins see their family members on TV, or there future resident.. Oh wait, already tried without much success..
MSNBC punts and it shows but CNN actually works their balls-off during the weekends and THEY JUST ABSOLUTELY SUCK !
WHY does TVByTheNumbers combine CNN & HLN? That skewers the true numbers of each.
If I added Fox News & Fox Business, I will get these results:
CNN/HLN: 101.12 million HHs
FNC/FB: 215.45 million HHs
Fox comes out double numbers of CNN & HLN.
Combining only CNN & HLN skewers it so Fox New Chnnel is not #1 in that category.
Please seriously consider listing each channel/network SEPARATELY. The same for all.
@HarryFromMA
They don’t combine CNN & HLN. Both CNN & HLN are available in 101.12 HHs.
CNN 101.12 million HHs
HLN: 101.12 million HHs
CNBC: 98.62 million HHs
FNC: 99.15 million HHs
MSNBC: 95.72 million HHs
Fox Business: 58.15 million HHs
I trusted MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, no FOX news at our house!
