Once again Fox News places no shows in the top 40.....

[WCGreen]

Although they ar solidly positioned when it comes to overall viewers, they have not been able to get on single show into the top 40 for at least three weeks now..

Fox made tremendous strides into the ratings by cherry picking all the conservatives from the other stations.....

Still, their Prime Time average is about 1.5% of households in the US.....

Less in the full day part.....

Remember, Fox climbed high and fast because they were added to cable programing after CNN had already established a market for 24/7 news....

Fox seems to have peaked and unless there is a dramatic news event, their ratings will stay right where they are......

4. Hate to rain

On the parade, but this isn't an indication of anything that significant. Right now there isn't any election or anything like that so of course viewership will go down. They still whip CNN and MSNBC's asses. Plus they still get the #5 overall rating during Primetime

5. Well, that is still only a little over 2 million viewers...

All i am saying si that they aren't the monolith many here think they are....

And as for CNN and MSNBC, who cares... They are all crap anyway....

And beside that 34% of all households still watch the netwrok news casts.....

Which are a little less biased than Fox.....

It's like saying the Washington Times is an important newspaper...

The suburban paper chain here in Cleveland has a larger ciculation.....

6. Of course

The network news gets better ratings than them. Look at who there competing against. Network news is on the networks plus there only competition are syndicated TV shows. While the FNC shows were talking about are on Primetime. Plus I really believe that the main reason there ratings have gone down is that its a non-election year and there isn't as much going on. This means that when 08 comes around there ratings will go back up

7. But I see from your link that FNC is in the top 5 in primetime cable

network rankings.
