Fox News remains on top in cable news ratings but the network has taken a dive. Splat. TV Newser reports, “The network declined across the board year-over-year and posted its lowest ratings in the A25-54 demographic since August 2001 in both total day and primetime.”
Younger viewers are abandoning ship which likely explains the shift with a couple of the network’s hosts’ time slots.

Newser reports:
Compared to August 2012, Fox News was down -10% in total viewers and -24% in the A25-54 demographic in total day. In primetime, the network was down -15% and -24%, respectively. The network was down in both total viewers and the A25-54 demographic in every hour of programming from 9am-11pmET, except for “The Five,” which was flat in total viewers and down -25% in the demo.
Sean Hannity‘s show was down -21% in total viewers and -26% in the demo, which explains the shakeup at the network. ‘On the Record’ with Greta Van Susteren also took a beating at-20% in both ratings measurements.
With younger viewers taking a hike, that leaves the old, white guys, who can’t live forever, similar to the predicament the GOP has found itself in.
Yes, I went there.
MSNBC is down by double digits.
It’s possible that younger viewers are waking up to cable news not being as factual as they claim to be, or it could be that the masses are so dumbed down they can’t even turn on the TV set.
Walter Cronkite has left the building.
