News channel trailed NBC and ABC, but edged out CNN, MS Now and CBS in primetime hours on midterm election night
On a midterm election night that was a huge disappointment for Republicans, with Democrats taking control of the US House and Senate, the country’s most prominent conservative television network seemingly felt the brunt of viewer disillusionment with Donald Trump and his party, according to final audience numbers released on Thursday.
The Fox News channel, which often leads among all news networks in viewership on election nights, fell behind two top broadcasters on Tuesday. According to ratings dating from the Nielsen firm, the network averaged 4.3 million total viewers between 8 and 11pm, behind broadcast networks NBC (6.7 million viewers) and ABC (5.2 million viewers), though it edged out fellow cable networks CNN (4.1 million viewers) and MS Now (3.7 million viewers). Fox News handedly defeat CBS News, which attracted just 2.8 million viewers. CNN performed better in the 25-to-54 age demographic prized by advertisers, besting Fox News, MS Now and CBS.
Old people. My mom has had directtv for 15 years.
Why watch anyone is what I don’t get, the numbers on the AP news app is the fastest way to see the results. The news channels and that streamer, just get their information from them and yap.
TIL DirecTV was still a thing.
She’s paying like 250 a month to watch 1 channel. Newsmax.
That is stupid, makes perfect sense, and makes my head hurt.
