TOTAL DOMINATION: Fox news dominates the Cable TV ratings:

Last week's ratings confirmed a trend that has been brewing for some time. In every time slot Fox News continues to dominate its competition. They are getting more viewers than CNN, Headline News and MSNBC COMBINED. Fox has a winning combination of "Fair and Balanced" reporting and is one of the few places the public has to go to avoid the State Run Media juggernaut. Here are last week's numbers:
Fox News Channel continued its dominance in the cable news universe becoming the second most-watched basic cable channel for the first three months of this year, only behind USA Network. FNC also had the top 13 programs in cable news in both Total Viewers and younger viewers.FNC was the only network to show growth in each ratings category and, for the second consecutive quarter, FNC programs were the top 13 in cable news in Total Viewers. FNC also had the top 13 programs in the demo this quarter. Every FNC program was up against Q1 of '09. Two evening news programs, "Special Report with Bret Baier" (2.46M total/541k demo) and "Fox Report with Shepard Smith" (2.11M total/526k demo), each had their best quarters ever. Those programs saw a benefit from FNC's 5pm program hosted by Glenn Beck which saw the largest year-to-year increases of all shows in the demo (up +50%). Greta Van Susteren and Bill O'Reilly were both up more than +20% in the demo compared to Q1 of '09. Fox News was the #2 basic cable network in primetime and averaged more Total Viewers in primetime and total day than CNN, MSNBC, and HLN combined.  Read the entire story here.
