2018 Ratings: Fox News Is the Most-Watched Network on Cable for the Third Straight Year
In 2018, Fox News averaged its largest prime time audience in the 22-year history of the network; and for the third year in a row, finished as the most-watched network on cable television and the fifth-most-watched network across broadcast and cable.
In a joint statement on the network’s record ratings, FNC’s CEO Suzanne Scott and FNC’s President Jay Wallace said, “Fox News continues to outperform other basic cable networks, proving once again that our news coverage and premiere team of journalists and opinion hosts are the best in the business. With the recent launch of Fox Nation, an increased focus on digital and the strong ratings momentum we have built, we are confident that 2019 will offer our loyal viewers even more ways to engage with Fox News.”
Despite those great prime time total viewer numbers, Fox News posted year-over-year audience losses across the 24-hour time period, with the most severe being in the younger demographics. MSNBC and CNN also posted losses among younger news consumers, so this trend wasn’t unique to FNC.
