In a stunning display of dominance, Fox News has once again claimed the top spot in cable news ratings, continuing its reign as the most-watched network for the seventh consecutive year. The network’s incredible performance in 2022 has not only solidified its position at the top but has also etched the year into history as the third-highest-rated year ever in cable news history, according to total-day viewers. This remarkable feat comes as Fox News consistently outpaces its competitors—MSNBC and CNN—leaving them trailing far behind in both primetime and total-day viewership.
Fox News: The King of Cable News for Seven Straight Years
For the past seven years, Fox News has been the undisputed leader in cable news, holding strong in both the primetime and total-day categories. In 2022, this dominance continued, with Fox News securing the highest ratings in total viewers across all cable networks, beating out its primary competitors, MSNBC and CNN, by a significant margin.
According to data, Fox News’ ability to maintain its position as the most-watched cable network for such an extended period is a testament to the network’s unwavering popularity and its continued appeal to its audience. In 2022, Fox News averaged over 2.3 million total viewers in prime time, significantly outpacing CNN, which averaged just over 700,000 total viewers. MSNBC came in second, but still fell behind with an average of 1.3 million viewers in prime time.
2022: The Third-Highest-Rated Year in Cable News History
While Fox News’ dominance in the ratings is no surprise to many, what makes 2022 particularly significant is that it marked the third-highest-rated year in cable news history in terms of total-day viewers. This achievement came after a series of tumultuous years in American politics and news cycles, proving that Fox News remains the go-to network for millions of viewers who rely on its programming for political commentary, breaking news, and opinion-driven shows.
Fox News has long been the leader in total-day ratings, and 2022 only reinforced that position. The network’s total-day audience reached an average of 1.3 million viewers in 2022, surpassing both CNN and MSNBC by a wide margin. For comparison, CNN’s total-day average viewership was just over 500,000, while MSNBC’s averaged just under 800,000.
