Fox News Channel is still on top of the cable news heap, but the network is down -4% in Total Viewers and down -11% in younger viewers for Total Day viewing (Mon-Sun). It was a mixed bag in primetime (Mon-Fri/8-11pm) with FNC seeing growth (+2%) in Total Viewers, but down -8% in younger viewers. The channel keeps a grip on the top 11 cable news programs in Total Viewers and the top 10 programs in the A25-54 demo. FNC beat CNN and MSNBC combined in the demo in both primetime and total day.

“Glenn Beck” is on top in the 5 PM hour, but down -24% in Total Viewers and down -28% in A25-54 viewers compared to last year. The 6 PM hour, “Special Report,” is also down -8% in Total Viewers and down -16% in the demo. “Fox Report with Shepard Smith” and “The O’Reilly Factor” and are both down -2% in Total Viewers. Primetime growth was experienced by “Hannity,” up +2% in Total Viewers and “On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren” up +4% in Total Viewers compared to Oct ’09.

1. Any other TV show bleeding viewers like that would be immediately cancelled.

Rupert and the GOP just doesn't care.

2. Beckster has shot his wad

Also read he had a book signing the other day at B&N in Warwick, RI and 350 showed up. Not bad, but not the crazy numbers he used to draw. There are romance writers out there when they appear at B&N you have to get tickets in advance.

4. That's The First Thing I Thought Too

And, let's remember, it's not like Faux News programs have the share/rating numbers of "Dancing With The Stars" or "Lost".

When you lose 25% of a couple hundred thousand viewers, now, only 0.05% of America is watching your idiotic program. Not exactly earth shaking.
