FOX firings coming ?

Nobody at Fox is going to be fired. Like them or not, those guys are just doing their job which is to have loyal viewers tuned in on a regular basis. I'm not going to fault them for that. I won't watch their garbage but all talking heads are garbage to me so I can't cry foul about them when other networks do the same for ratings.

Outlandish equals higher ratings when your viewers are retarded and have no life. I's not like Fox News doesn't know that.

FOX and ABC aren't directly comparable. ABC is one of the original "Big Three" broadcast outfits long before cable even existed. does FOX now have local affiliates in most of the big markets like ABC, NBC and CBS do, of course. does ABC, NBC and CBS now have cable only channels? of course. FOX didn't exist at all in the early 20th century when the big three got started as over the air broadcast stations only. they had a decades long monopoly (3 way monopoly) to build a base.


so in the mixed bag of cable and even old school broadcast today, who's number one?


NBC and CBS in a dead heat at approximately 5.1 million viewers with ABC at 3.8 and FOX 3.2. these numbers are for 2022. so ABC isn't "way ahead" of FOX after all, are they?

• NBC. 5,148. -7%
• CBS. 5,144. -8%
• ABC. 3,867. -6%
• Fox. 3,233. -14%
• Fox News Channel. 2,369. -1%
• ESPN. 1,877. +14%
• Univision. 1,315. -9%
• MSNBC. 1,197. -22%

interestingly here are numbers from 2019 ..


THE MOST-WATCHED NETWORKS OF 2019 (BY TOTAL VIEWERS)
Rank NETWORK VIEWERS (000)
1.CBS 7,140
2.NBC 6,330
3.ABC 5,192
4.Fox 4,623


FOX is still 4th but CBS was clearly well ahead of NBC where they are in a dead heat today.


what's important to note is that total viewership for all 4 are down significantly in 3 years time.


interesting. also note these numbers are total viewership. not just News but TV shows, sports events, everything.


and for our friends who like to point out FOX is "Entertainment" and thus not meant to be news let's see how for example ABC is described ..


The American Broadcasting Company is an American commercial broadcast television network. It is the flagship property of the Disney Entertainment division of The Walt Disney Company.


all networks are first and foremost entertainment. News is only a small part of it. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

And because of that, foxy has been mainstream helluvalot longer than you give them credit for. There are over 200 foxy affiliates nationwide. That's a pretty big meatball hanging out there.

Seeing that you admit foxy ain't #1 (think you said they lost the Bronze) thanks for admitting they are lightweight in more than one category. They'll eventually get the cahones to outdo those freeloaders at OAN.

Tell you what. *IF* they beat the Dominion lawsuit, and I mean outright absolved of all charges and no out of court settlement *AND* turn around and sue Dominion showing that what they broadcast about Caesar Chavez and all the bologna (currently) that Sydney (sp) put is true and they get $$$$ Dominion I will not speak any ill about their factuality or bias.

I might even start watching them again.

Put bill back on with the No Spin Zone and you'll probably have me cross the threshold.

Since foxy is MAINSTREAM in the news department, I play no favourites with the media they broadcast on. Never hear me mention ABC on internet and such. Nope.

Just keep protecting that little beacon of light on that slim sliver called cable and i'll keep having that same mindset with Steele.

I only bring that up because you hate when I have that POV with Steele but it is okay for you to have same narrowness with foxy.

Not to say all foxy is bad.....

The it’s viewership exceeds the total of the rest I’ll have some concern but until then then being number 1 doesn’t say much.

you sure about that?

• NBC. 5,148. -7%
• CBS. 5,144. -8%
• ABC. 3,867. -6%
• Fox. 3,233. -14%
• Fox News Channel. 2,369. -1%
• ESPN. 1,877. +14%
• Univision. 1,315. -9%
• MSNBC. 1,197. -22%

FOX entertainment affiliates along with the separate FOX News actually exceed the total viewership of NBC or CBS (including ALL of their news shows)


who knew?


they ARE Number 1


3.3 + 2.4 = 5.7



oops!

It's a well known fact that faux cable news can't compete with the big boys. Faux will always win the lying news channel though

So these numbers show less than 2% of all Americans watch any FOX show ?

And of that less than 2%, most are right wing radicals ?

asking for a friend

Faux low low ratings when compared to the big boys is,just another FACT to be denied by megas

... And yet - Fox-News CONTINUES to have more evening
viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined.

... The King of Cable!

.... So IF firings are coming - What will they matter?

So what do FOX ratings matter ?

Since all they are doing is herding together the right wing radicals.

The last several years have shown how gullible they are and easy to herd together.

Rally, anyone ?
