While Fox News had a banner 2017, it's sister network Fox Business also has a lot to crow about as well. 

FBN will wrap up 2017 with its first yearly win over CNBC in Business Day viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.

As business news dominated the headlines in 2017, FBN scored its highest-rated year ever, achieving record ratings across Business Day and Total Day in both total viewers and the coveted A25-54 demo.

In addition, all of FBN’s programs recorded their highest rated year to date in total viewers, delivering five of the six top rated programs of the year in all of business television.
 
While CNBC delivered record lows, FBN saw double digit growth across Business Day and Total Day viewers over last year. 

After Ailes was ousted at Fox, many predicted that 2017 was going to be the year that Fox fell from the throne. 

When in fact, they got stronger.
