Fox News has its best January ever!

fox-news-logoPretty good for “not being a real news network” wouldn’t you say? As ABC, CBS, NBC, and even cable “news channels” like CNN and MSNBC continue to flounder and lose viewers, Fox News had its best January in the history of the network, and was the only cable news network to grow year-to-year according to Mediaite. Fox News has been around since October of 1996.

FNC also had the top 13 programs on cable news in total viewers for the fifth month in a row, and the top 13 programs in the A25-54 demographic for the first time in more than five years.

• FNC grew in double digits in both total viewers and the A25-54 demographic from January 2009. In prime time, it was up 22% in total viewers and 51% in the demo. CNN was down 34% and 37% and MSNBC down 26% and 38%. In total day, FNC was up 16% and 28%. CNN was down 34% and 41% and MSNBC down 28% and 39%. Last January all networks performed while with the Inauguration coverage. This month, the big political event was Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts, which FNC dominated in the ratings.

• Special Report with Bret Baier/Brit Hume was #1 for the 100th consecutive month.

• Fox Report #1 for 100th consecutive month.

• Sean Hannity had his best month ever (since it launched as Hannity).
