From Forbes:
Fox News steamrolls cable news competition ratings.
What happened to the rise of MSNBC? After showing historic growth--and a
few months in 2017 when Rachel Maddow took the title of most-watched
host in all of cable news, beating Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity--the
just-released results of the May ratings period look very familiar: Fox
News won--everything.
In ratings data released Wednesday by Nielsen Media Research, FNC
extended its run of consecutive months at number one to a staggering
197, while building hitting another impressive milestone: Fox News
Channel has now beaten every other network in basic cable for 23 months
straight, based on total day ratings, with an average total day audience
in May of 1.4 million viewers.
