Fox News Dominates All-News Ratings Battle
while rival CNN saw the biggest ratings decrease in the all-news category.
By Steve Donohue -- Multichannel News, 11/28/2007 1:59:00 PM


Fox News Channel dominated the all-news network ratings battle in November,
FNC averaged a 0.7 total-day rating in November, according to Nielsen Media Research numbers, flat with the same period in 2006. CNN averaged a 0.4 rating, down 20%.

MSNBC (0.3 total-day rating), CNBC (0.2) and Headline News (0.2) were all flat compared to this time last year.

Fox News also won primetime, averaging a 1.2 rating, flat with November 2006. CNN dropped from a 0.8 to a 0.7 in primetime; MSNBC (0.5) and CNBC (0.2) were flat in primetime; and Headline News increased from a 0.3 to a 0.4 rating.

In the core adults 25 to 54 news demographic, CNN took one of the largest hits in the morning time slot (6 a.m. to 9 a.m.). Viewers for CNN’s American Morning program plummeted 41% to 121,000 in the news demo, dropping CNN to third place in the time period.

CNN own sister network, Headline News, beat it in the morning period. HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade averaged 130,000 viewers in the adults 25 to 54 demographic, up 27% from November 2006.

Fox News had nine of the top 10 programs in cable news in November. And The O’Reilly Factor expanded its streak as the No. 1 cable news program to 84 months.

It may just be rhetoric, but it looks to me that the migration is away from the "non-biased" CNN and MSNBC and towards the [Sheppard Smith] fair balanced news, FoxNews. [/Sheppard Smith]

Could it be that people are indeed awakening and looking for reliable news?

have you notice that Shep has picked up all the catch phrases from Geraldo?

"They just want a better life", "they are just coming to work" "to do jobs Americans won't do"
"are you gonna just round them all up?"
...

I can't even watch him anymore.

I sent him an email telling him so.

I don't know what happened to FOX.
Every since the Dems took the house and senate, they kinda flipped out.

They are still among the best, but not like they were.:confused:

Watching Brit right now. At least he's still rock solid.

seeing that your graph that shows viewership is as old as my info I'm not sure what you're complaining about. Not that your viewership graph doesn't show CNN conistently on top. :laugh:

But there is another important number collected by Nielsen (though only made available to the firm's clients) that tells another story. This is the "cume," the cumulative total number of viewers who watch a channel for at least six minutes during a given day. Unlike the average ratings number the media usually report, this number gives the same weight to the light viewer, who tunes in for a brief time, as it does to the heavy viewer.

How can CNN have more total viewers when Fox has such a commanding lead in average viewers? Conventional industry wisdom is that CNN viewers tune in briefly to catch up on news and headlines, while Fox viewers watch longer for the opinion and personality-driven programming. Because the smaller total number of Fox viewers are watching more hours, they show up in the ratings as a higher average number of viewers.

CNN regularly claims a cume about 20 percent higher than Fox 's (Deseret Morning News , 1/12/04). For instance, in April 2003, during the height of the fighting in Iraq, CNN 's cume was significantly higher than Fox 's: 105 million viewers tuned into CNN compared to 86 million for Fox (Cablefax , 4/30/03). But in the same period, the ratings reported by most media outlets had Fox in the lead, with an average of 3.5 million viewers to CNN 's 2.2 million.

Even among Fox 's core audience of conservatives, CNN has an edge in total viewership. A study by the ad agency Carat USA (Hollywood Reporter , 8/13/03) found that 37 percent of viewers calling themselves "very conservative" watch CNN in the course of a week, while only 32 percent tune to Fox .

But in the race between these two for-profit ventures, the bottom line is the bottom line: From their capitalistic perspective, the channel that gets more ad revenue is winning the real ratings war. Earnings for the two channels are a contentious subject--since neither network reports its revenues separate from its corporate parent, and each claims to earn more income than its rival. But many industry analysts say CNN still makes more money. Stock analyst Michael Gallant told the Chicago Tribune (11/28/03) that while Fox is growing faster, CNN is still earning about $200 million more per year than Fox (Television Week , 10/20/03).

Well that would be incorrect since nothing you've shown has indicated a migration.

If they were they certainly would go to Fox.
