Fox News saw very healthy television ratings following the 2024 presidential election, outpacing competing networks by a wide margin.
In the four weeks since the election, starting from Nov. 6 through Dec. 4, Fox News captured 73% of prime-time viewers of cable news, while also getting 72% of viewers between the ages of 25 and 54. For prime time, the network is up by 16% with nearly 2.8 million viewers, and up 18% with viewers in the 25 through 54 age bracket, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Conversely, rival network CNN lost almost half of its prime-time viewers with 410,000 following the election and only received 81,000 from the age bracket. Likewise, MSNBC’s viewership also decreased, going down 53% with 621,000 viewers and 61% of viewers ages 25 through 54, totaling 57,000.
Among MSNBC’s shows decreasing in viewership is Morning Joe, which has seen its viewership decline by 18% following news the two co-hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, met with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The network has also seen a decrease of 49% following the co-hosts’ revelation they spoke with Trump.
