Fox News in Ratings Free Fall
Here's something you won't hear on Fox News -- ratings for the cable news
channel have been plummeting since before the November election.
According to TV Newser
<http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/fncs_2554_prime_downward_sp
iral_20939.asp>, the number of people watching Fox during prime time in the
25 to 54 age bracket dropped in April for the sixth straight month.
TV Newser cited a CNN press release which gave these totals for Fox's
primetime audience in the 25 to 54 age bracket: Oct. 04: 1,074,000; Nov.
04: 891,000; Dec. 04: 568,000; Jan. 05: 564,000; Feb. 05: 520,000; March
05: 498,000; April 05: 445,000. That amounts to a decline of 58 percent,
with no sign of leveling off.
Other cable stations' ratings were also down since the election, but CNN's,
for example, appeared to have stabilized last month while Fox's continued
to drop.
