May Ratings: Fox News Channel Stays On Top

No wonder they are trying so hard to get the "Fairness Doctrine" passed.  The liberals are losing the airways.


May Ratings: FNC Stays On Top
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/may_ratings_fnc_stays_on_top_85816.asp

For the 77th consecutive month, FNC finished first in total day and prime time ratings during May. FNC was the sixth highest rated cable network on all of basic cable during prime time for the month (CNN and MSNBC finished 19th and 26th) and the seventh rated network in total day (CNN and MSNBC were 19th and 27th).

FNC also had 11 out of the top 13 programs in cable during the month in Total Viewers. The O'Reilly Factor was the #1 program in cable news for the 90th consecutive month, and saw gains in Total Viewers year-to-year (26%).

Amercia's Newsroom (9-11amET) was up 30% year-to-year, with the program averaging more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined during the time period.

Meanwhile, On the Record with Greta Van Susteren has been #1 for 73 consecutive months in Total Viewers while Hannity & Colmes has been #1 in its timeslot for 54 consecutive months.

Whatever AFN is showing at the time.

They show FOX, CNN, and MSNBC.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Fox is honestly the only one that doesn't make me want to throw stuff. Except when Geraldo is on, then I turn that off too.

I looked around for a replacement a while back, but I couldn't find anything better; maybe the Wall Street Journal.  Most are a lot worse.

I am not a big news watcher, but I find Fox to be the least offensive of the bunch, and I like some of the commentators, at least in small doses (Geraldo excepted - just can't deal with him at all).

The only thing I watch on MSNBC is the prison shows. For some reason I find them fascinating.
