In prime time, Fox News averaged 1.9 million viewers. It had a bigger audience than MSNBC (758,000), CNN (594,000) and HLN (487,000) combined. Fox was down 10 percent from the second quarter last year while MSNBC was off 4 percent, CNN was off 31 percent and HLN was down 12 percent.
Fox News was among the most popular cable channels in the second quarter. It ranked third, behind USA and TNT, in total viewers in prime time.
Among cable news channels in prime time, Fox was the clear winner in the 25-to-54 age group, which is most important to news advertisers. Fox had 468,000 viewers in that age group and outpaced MSNBC (237,000), CNN (174,000) and HLN (158,000). But there was falloff from the second quarter. Fox News had the smallest (down 9 percent); CNN had the greatest (down 28 percent).
Fox News also had the 13 most popular programs in cable news for the first half 2010.
The top five programs were “The O’Reilly Factor” (3.29 million total viewers), “Glenn Beck” (2.42 million), “Hannity” (2.36 million), ”Special Report With Bret Baier” (2.19 million) and “On the Record With Greta Van Susteren” (1.98 million).
