SaysWho? Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 One in Seven Republicans Has Stopped Watching Fox News WWW.MEDIAITE.COM Fox News is the most-watched news network among Republican voters, but some 14% of GOP voters who used to watch Fox News no longer watch the channel, according to a survey released Tuesday. Quote Fabrizio Lee, a GOP polling firm, polled more than 1,000 voters who are either registered Republicans or affiliate as Republicans on their news network viewership habits. The survey took place from February 20 to March 2, 2021. The poll found that 48% Republican voters watch Fox News regularly than any other news network, while 26% of Republican voters watch Newsmax at least weekly. Fox News has lost some Republican viewers, with 14% responding that they used to watch Fox but don’t anymore, but the network maintains a wide lead over the conservative competition, with more Republicans saying they watch Fox daily than those who watch Newsmax weekly. Quote Thirty-two percent of Republican voters who used to watch Fox News now watch Newsmax at least weekly, and 28% of them watch OANN at least weekly. However, 37% of former Fox viewers have never watched Newsmax, and 53% have never watched OANN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Just now, marioandsonic said: Is Fox News still the most watched news channel in general? It technically never was; that's why they always specified cable news since its highest rated shows never matched the ratings of NBC Nightly News, ABC World News, or CBS Evening News. In cable, it still leads, but not like the 2000s when it was far ahead of the other cable news channels. CNN, Fox News Split Prime Time Victories In February Cable Ratings WWW.FORBES.COM MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" was the most-watched prime time show in all of cable television for the month. Quote Fox News Channel’s total audience of 2.473 million viewers in prime led all cable news networks, followed by MSNBC (2.193 million viewers) and CNN (1.687 million viewers). In the key demo, CNN was first with 411,000 viewers, followed by FNC (365,000 viewers) and MSNBC (340,000 viewers). Quote MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show was the most-watched show in prime time, with a total audience of 3.5 million viewers, followed by Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.4 million viewers), Hannity (2.9 million viewers) and The Five (2.846 million viewers), and MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell (2.553 million viewers). In the key demo, Maddow was first with 567,000 viewers, followed by FNC’s Tucker Carlson Tonight (515,000 viewers), CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 (480,000 viewers) and Cuomo Prime Time (466,000 viewers), and Fox’s Hannity (435,000 viewers). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
