All Votes Are In: Cable News Claims Huge Victory in 2008 and guess who came out #1?
Those who claim Fox News is nothing more than some right wing conspiracy channel either need to stop watching the channel, or come to the realization that Fox News is simply the only network without a completely liberal biased “staff”. Fox News remained the undisputed news champ. Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes’s network celebrated its seventh consecutive year as the cable-news rating leader in primetime and total day among viewers and the key 25-to-54 demographic. And 2008 was Fox News’s highest-rated year ever in both total day and primetime. The dominant all-news network saw its primetime average grow 41% from 2007 to 2.059 million viewers last year, almost as many as CNN and MSNBC combined. In terms of household primetime ratings in 2008, Fox News ranked No. 4 among all cable networks with a 1.7 average, up 31% from 2007, according to Disney ABC Television Group analysis of Nielsen data. Maybe if Sean Hannity or Bill Oreilly would have announced they get a tingling sensation up their legs in regard to John McCain or Sarah Palin, the ratings would have done better. Congrats Fox News! LOL @ the you CNN and MSNBC.
