Fox News continued its domination of the cable news landscape in Q2 2010, with the top 13 programs on cable news all on the channel. While it is still dominant, the network took a ratings hit compared to the same quarter last year, though that was mostly across the board for the cable news channels.
Total day (Mon-Sun): 1.057M total/288K A25-54
Prime (Mon-Sun): 1.91M total/473k A25-54
In total day FNC was down -9% in total viewers and -8% in the demo compared to the same period last year. In primetime it was down -10% in total viewers and -9% in the demo. The hardest hit show in primetime was 9 p.m.’s “Hannity,” which was down -11% in both total and demo viewers (2.093M/542k). The top-rated show on cable news, 8 p.m.’s “O’Reilly Factor,” had the strongest performance of any program in that hour, down only -8% in total viewers and flat in the demo (2.961M/738k).
In the afternoons the only program to show growth was 5 p.m.’s “Glenn Beck,” which was up +2% in total viewers and +11% in the demo (2.129M/603k).
In the morning, “Fox & Friends” remained the top show on cable news for the period, flat compared to last year in total viewers, and up +2% in the demo (1M/332k).

They do realize that when they stop reporting truth people see thru them. Murdock is pushing an amnesty coalition and the country won't buy. None of his hosts will be allowed to show the truth. Money speaks louder than anything make it count.
azwayne they do that i wont watch em no more jus lik i dont watch em other news shows.
Like the movie line, SHOW ME THE MONEY! Where's the proof to back up your allegations? IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE AN ASSERTION OR ALLEGATION, YOU BEST HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION–OTHERWISE STFU!
Fox News all the way, 24 hours, everyday!
what else is there,
i lik fox news but they need 2 b honest with folks bout obama not bein a u.s. citizen.
They're reporting BS… doing exactly what they are told, to hell with the REAL news, they candycoat everything… them and ALL the news channels. The only news is reported on the internet and I hear soon that will be monitored!!! WHAT NEWS.. it's all jokes and foolishness. You won't hear about anything that's important being reported.. they all have a 'gag order'!!! Wake up people!!!
WHERE are the people willing to stand up and SPEAK the TRUTH!
time u rite.
i lik fox news but they dont tell truth about obama either. beck an oreiley believes obama a u.s. citizen. not reportin on obama not bein a u.s citizen.
O'Reilly is a joke!!!
It's only natural for Fox to be on top,when you seethe bias of the other networks.All the other shows just kiss Obama black fanny.God Chris Matthews show Noballs gets off on Obama,he does need a girl.But beware if that Murdock pushes for amnesty then I'd like to see lose big time and if he's a British subject then that's were his 2 cents should stay.I'm tired of foreigners lecturing us we got asocialist president and that to much.
FOX tells it like it is. More and more Good solid Americans are watching and learning !!
thomas i agree but why they dont expose obama 4 not bein a u.s. citizen?
Yeah right… in your dreams!!! Check out the REAL news on the internet!!!
I am one of the Americans that does watch FOX. The 4 other news broadcasters would not know the truth if it hit them in the face. Beck is great for this country. Things he talks about is certainly not disputed by the worthless bastards in DC therfore it must be true. Wish the entire nation would watch him then perhaps we could take out country back in November!! If that Kenyan and his cronies are not voted out of off we do not stand a chance of surviving the SOB!!
Fox is the best. The other network has a bunch of behind kissers giving the news. Some of the people are doinf there job right but the ones that don't give the full story are the ones. I guess they think that if there station gets in a bind that obama will dish out help. They better not hold their breath on that. Fox is not afraid to tell it like it is.
william,
as i ask ever 1 else why they not expose obama as not bein born in u.s.? this bothers me.
i agreee carol with all u say here. my question why beck believe obama born in the u.s. and he thinks birthers wrong?
I AM A AMERICAN & PROUD OF IT!
WHY? I ASK WHY? FOX NEWS NOT DEMANDEN OBAMA 2 GIV PROOF HE A CITIZEN. MAK HIM SHOW HIS REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE THAT HE SAY IN HIS BOOK HE GOT AN ALL EM OTHER RECORDS HE HIDEN FRUM FOLKS? I WRITES FOX NEWS, GLEEN BECK, ORIELY,HANNITY AN THEY DONT ANSWER ME WHEN I ASK EM WHY? NOT RITE! I LIK FOX NEWS BUT THIS JUS NOT RITE! I THINK ALL EM NEWS FOLKS PROTECTIN OBAMA INCLUDIN FOX NEWS.
Regarding Obama's birth records ( and all other pertinent records that you would think an American President would have readily available), I think that he's got some things to hide. Maybe it would show that he's an he was born out of wedlock. We know as a matter of record that he's a Muslim. It's insane that we don't know more about this character that came out from nowhere. What is his real agenda? Folks…………..he's setting us up. He WANTS this country to fail. He's about as patriotic to this country as the russian spy's just arrested. Hmmmmm…. they all appeared to be legit too! Who is he really loyal to? Just look at who he's surrounding himself with and who he has had long relationships with.
If it sounds like a dictator, walks like a dictator, and acts like a dictator…. is it a duck???
The only mistake Beck made was in January when he lost over 3 million viewers, and I believe that was due to the fact that he didn't believe in social security benefits. That's the only thing I can chew his butt out for. The rest is right on!!
