Fox News Ratings Down 24% Since Last Summer
It is perhaps a sign of the times. As approval ratings for the Bush administration and the Republican Congress continue to be mired in the 30s and below, so too has the viewership at Fox News fallen. And fast.

In June, we learned that network chief Roger Ailes was "on the warpath," putting his employees on notice after following a 22 percent drop in the core 25-54 demo and an 8 percent drop among total viewers in the second quarter. Now, Linda Moss of Multichannel News (via TVNewser) reports that ratings at Fox News Channel are down even bigger this summer.

ESPN, Fox News Channel, Nick at Nite and Hallmark Channel all tied with a 1.3 rating. ESPN and Hallmark were each up 18% versus last summer, while Fox News and Nick at Nite were both down 24%. [emphasis added]

In a separate post, Brian at TVNewser reports that ratings at Fox News in August were down 7 percent all day and 28 percent in primetime from the previous August at the same time that both CNN and MSNBC showed significant gains in viewership.

I don't want to overstate these numbers. Fox News still receives more viewers, both all day and during primetime, than CNN and MSNBC -- comined. However, at the same time last year, Fox News had almost twice as many viewers as CNN and MSNBC combined, so they have not only seen their numbers but also an even larger drop in their lead over their competition.

So the era of Fox News' domination of cable news may be coming to an end. And I don't think I'm going to get any arguments from this crowd that that's not a good thing.

Your article also mentioned that Fox news still has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined.

It's obvious to all who is being dumbed down. Watch Keith Olberman some time. Now that is dumbing down.

Keith Olberman is a dumb ass. I've despised him since his days on ESPN. He's a friggin moron.

He's a failure as a sports broadcaster and he's third in his cable news slot behind O'Reilly and CNN. The boob is a complete moron who is a legend in his own mind.

Yes, some Americans are waking up to the fact that FOX News is not as right-leaning as it appeared in the beginning. Fair and balanced in some shows, but becoming annoyingly appeasement oriented on other segments. Fox went too far left for me, a former Fox News viewer.

You're right Peggy Sue. Fox is going more left all the time.
