Fox has lost millions of viewers in the wake of what can only be described as a supreme act of hubris, parting ways with the most popular news figure in cable news, Tucker Carlson. Not only has Carlson’s time slot lost half their viewers, even their prime time show has suffered. Hannity has lost a million viewers and now trails Maddow.
The recent Fox “leaks” of Tucker off mic to damage him have only increased Carlson’s legend.

Here’s What’s Behind Tucker Carlson’s Abrupt Termination From Fox News
Fox News is bleeding viewers at 8 p.m. after ousting Tucker Carlson
By: Jeremy Barr, May 1, 2023: Washington Post
Fox News experienced a significant ratings drop in the 8 p.m. hour last week after firing prime-time host Tucker Carlson – while one of its much smaller conservative cable rivals appears to have benefited, at least temporarily, from the viewer migration.Carlson averaged more than 3 million total viewers per night from April 17-21, what turned out to be his final week in that time slot. But in his absence, the network averaged just about 1.8 million viewers per night during the first four days of the week. (Friday data is not yet available.)
“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade temporarily filled the time slot last week; this week, Fox News personality Lawrence Jones will host.
The disparity was most stark on Wednesday, when Kilmeade’s 8 p.m. hour received an average of 1.3 million total viewers compared with the 3 million Carlson received a week earlier – a decline of 56 percent.
