The Ratings Are In: Viewers Sent Fox News an Unmistakable Message on First Night Without Tucker Carlsoni
The ratings curve that used to peak for Fox News when Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. time slot came around cratered Monday nght as viewers used their clickers to react to Carlson’s abrupt firing.
By: Jack Davis, Western Journal, April 26, 2023:
ADVERTISEMENTFox announced Monday that Carlson was no longer with the network and that for the time being, rotating hosts will fill his spot.
With Brian Kilmeade taking the first show, viewers apparently decided they were not curious enough about what the program might hold to tune in and find out.
Fox’s 8 p.m. time slot, which attracted 3.2 million viewers the Monday before Carlson was forced to walk the plank, garnered 2.6 million yesterday, according to Mediaite. That was still good enough to take first place in the time slot.
Without Carlson to draw viewers in, Fox lost the 9 p.m. time slot to MSNBC, as Sean Hannity’s 2.5 million viewers were eclipsed by the 2.7 million who tuned in to see Rachel Maddow.
In terms of viewers in the 25 to 54 demographic, Fox’s substitute show was 37 percent lower in the ratings than what Carlson achieved in that time.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that Newsmax seemed to be the biggest gainer from Fox’s loss.
The network’s 8 p.m. offering, “Eric Bolling The Balance,” attracted 531,000 viewers, while its 9 p.m. show, “Greg Kelly Reports,” attracted 540,000.
ADVERTISEMENTThat was roughly three times the averages for those shows. Bolling’s show averaged 145,000 viewers during the first quarter of the year and Kelly averaged 141,000.
Fox is suffering in more than just the ratings department following Carlson’s departure.
