24 Million Watch GOP Debate on Fox News; Most-Watched Cable News Program Ever

By Chris Ariens



In the estimation of many reporters who cover the political and media beats, Fox News was the winner of the first GOP debate. And with the just-released ratings we can confirm that.

A whopping 24 million watched the debate from 9 p.m. ET to just past 11 p.m. ET. FNC drew 7.9 million in the A25-54 demo.

This is poised to be the highest non-sports cable program of all time. It’s already the highest-rated cable news program of all time and Fox News’s most-watched program ever.

The 5 p.m. ET debate, withe the 7 lower-tier candidates did very well for Fox News too, drawing 6.1 million total viewers and 1.2 million in the demo, making it the third-highest primary debate ever on cable.

I've remained close friends with a woman, who is a rabid Socialist, and Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama groupie.

She called me this morning and told me she watched the entire GOP debate last night.

Fascinating.....but she's still going to vote for Hillary.
