Fox News Earns Highest July Ratings Ever During Bonkers News Month, More Than Triples CNN Viewers
Fox News posted another ratings win for the month of July, which marked its most-viewed month ever with Jesse Watters taking the top spot, according to data from Nielsen Research Center.
The gain in viewers occurred during a month filled to the brim with breaking news, from the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden suspending his reelection campaign and subsequently addressing the nation to the Republican National Convention. Fox was by far the most watched program in cable news for all of these events. Out of the highest 100 cable news telecasts, Fox News scored 99 and MSNBC scored one.
Overall, Fox brought in more than triple the viewership in daytime and primetime that CNN did.
In daytime programming, Fox News averaged approximately 1.9 million viewers, more than 260,000 of those in the coveted 25-54 demo. CNN meanwhile averaged 523,000 viewers and 111,000 in the key demo.
In primetime, Fox averaged around 3.5 million viewers (approximately 500,000 in 25-54 demo), while CNN brought in 856,000 (a little over 200,000 in key demo).
On MSNBC, daytime programming averaged 721,000 viewers (82,000 in key demo) and primetime shows brought in about 1.2 million viewers (82,000 in key demo).
Comparing trends to other election years in 2020 and 2016, both MSNBC and CNN have shed viewers in the double digits while Fox has gained. Fox rose its total viewership by 17% in the daytime and 15% in primetime compared to 2020, while CNN shed more than 40% in daytime and primetime viewers and MSNBC lost approximately 40% across the board.
Jesse Watters Primetime earned its highest rated month since Watters premiered in the 8 p.m. timeslot, bringing in 4.4 million viewers, nearly 600,000 in the 25-54 demo. Watters had more to celebrate as his program beat The Five’s running streak as the number one watched Fox show. The Five averaged 3.9 million viewers, with nearly 400,000 coming from the 25-54 demo.
Others like Bret Baier and Neil Cavuto marked their highest watched months since November 2020, which was the same overall for the network.
