Fox News trounced its cable news rivals in July, helped by a jam-packed few weeks of news that made it the cable network’s most-viewed month ever, according to data from Nielsen Research Center.
The hefty viewership was bolstered by coverage of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the Republican National Convention and President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would suspend his reelection campaign.
The right-leaning network was the most watched cable news network during these events, far outpacing rivals CNN and MSNBC, according to Nielsen.
“Jesse Watters Primetime” led the charge with its highest month since the show premiered at the 8 p.m. time slot. The show — which beat “The Five’s” streak as the top Fox show — brought in 4.4 million viewers and nearly 600,000 viewers in the demo.
“The Five” was not too far behind, averaging 3.9 million viewers with nearly 400,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo.
Overall in primetime, Fox blew away its rivals, averaging around 3.5 million viewers and approximately 500,000 in in demo. Left-leaning MSNBC, meanwhile brought in about 1.2 million viewers and 82,000 in demo.
