In January’s cable news ratings, Fox News Channel’s The Faulkner Focus beat ABC’s long-running The View for the first time ever, with host Harris Faulkner delivering an average total audience of 2.552 million viewers, just ahead of The View’s 2.508 million. The win is even more notable given the larger reach of broadcast television, available to anyone without cable.
“I could not grab this big win without my wonderful team,” said Faulkner. "It’s a testament to the hard work and passion we put into bringing Americans the latest news and analysis on what matters most to them. The Faulkner Focus is a place where audiences can tune in and know their questions about the day’s headlines will be answered with respect for all sides and we are proud viewers continue to choose us at 11 a.m."
Forbes reports The Faulkner Focus was one of several Fox shows--including America’s Newsroom, Outnumbered, and America Reports--that posted all-time ratings records in January, as the network cruised to the highest-rated January in cable news history, with an average audience in prime time of 2.8 million viewers and 353,000 viewers in the key demographic of adults 25-54--the demo most valued by advertisers.Compared to the same month one year ago, Fox News was up 40% in prime and 61% in the key demo. January also marked FNC’s 23rd consecutive year as the top-rated network in cable news.
“As we mark 23 years as America’s most-watched cable news network, I would like to thank our incredible team both on and off the camera for their dedication to delivering the best product in news," said Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott in a statement provided by the network. "Each year, we surpass new milestones, continue to innovate, and outperform the competition due to their tireless efforts and I could not be prouder.”
