Fox News experienced significant success in 2022, particularly in its cable shows featuring personalities like Greg Gutfeld and Tucker Carlson. The network dominated its competition, especially in younger demographics, and outperformed even other conservative news sites in the digital division. Notably, Dan Bongino’s Saturday night show emerged as the most-watched in primetime, surpassing rivals at CNN and MSNBC.

During the 9 pm (EST) time slot, Bongino’s show attracted an impressive 1.19 million total viewers, overshadowing CNN’s program with only 219,000 average viewers and MSNBC with 315,000 average viewers. In the crucial 25-54 demographic, Bongino secured 134,000 average viewers, while CNN and MSNBC lagged behind with 58,000 and 27,000, respectively.

Fox News continued its dominance in other time slots, such as the 8 pm EST slot, where Brian Kilmeade garnered about 1.06 million viewers. Despite CNN’s slight improvement with 282,000 average viewers and MSNBC with 340,000 viewers during this time, Fox News maintained a substantial lead.

This success adds to Fox News’ ongoing triumph over its competitors, evident in its ratings milestones throughout 2022. The network celebrated its seventh consecutive year as the leader in all of cable television, achieving the third highest-rated year in cable news history. Notably, FNC programs constituted 92 of the top 100 cable news shows in 2022, while CNN and MSNBC faced their lowest-rated years with the A25-54 demographic. Fox News attracted a politically diverse audience, with more Democrats, Independents, and Republicans tuning in than any other network.

In summary, Fox News maintained its position as the number one cable network in primetime and total day for the seventh consecutive year, showcasing its enduring appeal and success in the competitive media landscape.
