Fox News in Ratings Free Fall
Here's something you won't hear on Fox News -- ratings for the cablenews channel have been plummeting since before the November election.According to TV Newser, the number of people watching Fox during primetime in the 25 to 54 age bracket dropped in April for the sixthstraight month.TV Newser cited a CNN press release which gave these totals for Fox'sprimetime audience in the 25 to 54 age bracket: Oct. 04: 1,074,000;Nov. 04: 891,000; Dec. 04: 568,000; Jan. 05: 564,000; Feb. 05:520,000; March 05: 498,000; April 05: 445,000. That amounts to adecline of 58 percent, with no sign of leveling off.Other cable stations' ratings were also down since the election, butCNN's, for example, appeared to have stabilized last month while Fox'scontinued to drop.What the press release didn't say is that we can add 629,000 people tothose who don't watch Fox. That works out to just over 89,857 peoplefor each of the seven News Hounds who are watching Fox so those peopledon't have to.Now that we've added another Hound, we should be able to take care ofthe remaining 445,000 in even less than six months.Fox's plunging ratings should be a warning to those cable stationstrying to copy the news channel's conservative Republican slant.People are tired of it. Try something different, like a progressivetelevision show, for a change.
