Fox News has once again dominated the ratings, leaving competitors MSNBC and CNN far behind. In 2022, Fox News had its third-highest-rated year ever in cable news history for total day viewers. The network has been the number one cable network for the past seven years in both primetime and total day viewership.

What distinguishes Fox News is its ability to attract a politically diverse audience. According to Nielsen/MRI Fusion data, more Democrats, Independents, and Republicans tune in to Fox News than any other network. This popularity also extends to younger viewers, with Fox News drawing the largest audience in the 25-54 age group.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott expressed immense pride in the network’s achievements in 2022, crediting their success to innovative news and opinion programming that resonates with a politically diverse audience. The numbers back this up—Fox News captured an impressive 53% share of the 25-54 demographic during total daytime viewership.

Among Fox News’ many successful shows, ‘The Five’ stands out as a record-breaker. This program made history by becoming the first non-primetime cable show to rank number one in viewership for an entire year. Airing at 5 PM ET, ‘The Five’ drew an astounding 3,432,000 viewers in 2022, surpassing all daytime and primetime programming on CNN and MSNBC. It also resonated strongly with the 25-54 demographic, attracting 465,000 viewers.

‘The Five’ is unique for its format and diverse panel of hosts who provide insightful perspectives on the day’s biggest stories. The show’s engaging discussions and informative content have made it a must-watch for cable news enthusiasts.

The success of Fox News is no surprise. The network’s commitment to delivering innovative programming across a wide range of topics has cemented its position as the leading cable news network. Viewers, regardless of political affiliation, can look forward to more groundbreaking shows and compelling content from Fox News in the years to come.
