Fox leads cable news, but does anyone know total viewing numbers? Cable and broadcast?

1. It's A Deceptive Number...
To answer your question, cable and over-the-air numbers are kept separate. Even moreso, cable news channels are only rated against each other, not against other cable channels like ESPN or Nick.

Faux leads over the other cable newsies...Chicken Noodle Nuze, GEMSNBC, HardOnNews and CrookedNBC. And Faux, on a good night, may reach 3 million viewers...that's 3 million out of 150 million or more viewers...doesn't take much math to see how small that audience really is. But its a focused audience...and very loyal.
