October Report: Fox News Still Number 1 Cable News Source
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on November 3, 2011
Short but sweet: Fox News is still Number 1 for cable network news. In fact, per the October reports, it’s royally whomping MSNBC and CNN.
For non-news programming, the FOX network has won three weeks straight and is the only network to gain both in ratings and viewers.
Mediaite’s impish spin on what Fox News ought to be crowing, but is either too modest or professional to do so, so Mediaite does it instead:
Their (theoretical) takeaway? You know how good we’re doing right now? Since we own all of the top 10 spots in cable news ratings (in the demo and total viewers), we decided to have some fun. Red Eye — that show that airs at 3 a.m. — beat Piers Morgan, Erin Burnett, Chris Matthews,Nancy Grace, and Al Sharpton, among others, in the 25-54 year old demo. This is us playing on your drums and disrespectfully dropping the sticks in front of your face. You got served. Or Drumlined. Whatever. We’re Number One.
Heh, heh…
