FOX Business Network (FBN) has expanded its lead over CNBC, outranking the legacy business network with business day viewers while notching its seventh consecutive monthly win in total day viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.
As markets reacted to the upcoming presidential election, viewers turned to FBN, which saw a 3% advantage over CNBC with business day viewers (9:30 AM-5 PM/ET) and an 8% advantage with total day viewers (6 AM-6 AM/ET). Additionally, all the network’s market hours programming (9 AM-4 PM/ET) placed in the top 15 business programs.

Marking 18 months as the number one program in business television, Kudlow also continued to dominate the 4 PM/ET hour, besting its CNBC competition for the 37th month in a row. Additionally, Stuart Varney’s three-hour market-open program Varney & Co (weekdays, 9 AM-12 PM/ET) continued to crush the competition, beating CNBC’s Squawk on the Street/TechCheck for the 32nd consecutive month (FBN 221,000 P2+ vs. CNBC 189,000 P2+) and placing second on the business news ranker.
