Fox News Wins Election Night Ratings
More than 7 million people tuned into Fox News to watch their coverage of the midterm elections.
Fox News’s coverage of the 2022 midterm election drew the largest audience in all of primetime television last night, beating broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC. FNC surpassed NBC and CBS combined with viewers and A25-54.
The election coverage was fronted by FNC’s Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, but Fox News might have done even better if they just had a camera focused on Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson as the big red wave turned into more of a ripple.
Watching Hannity and Carlson whimpering and consoling each other as the results came in, would have been must-see TV.
Hannity and Carlson did their best to push GOP candidates over the finish line, including trying to get Dr. Oz elected, which failed spectacularly.
Here is a breakdown of the numbers according to Nielsen.
