Fox News Ratings Plummet After Firing of Top Host Tucker Carlson

  • Fox News ratings dropped significantly without Tucker Carlson as host of Fox News Tonight.
  • His replacement, Brian Kilmeade, attracted far fewer viewers and a much lower rating in the key demographic.
  • The shows that followed Kilmeade's debut also saw no major drops, suggesting the issue was Kilmeade himself.
  • Newsmax, a smaller right-wing competitor, saw viewership triple in the same time slot with its own opinion hosts.
  • Despite being the top-rated cable news channel for over 20 years, Fox News may face new challenges attracting and keeping viewers after parting ways with Carlson, its star and biggest viewer draw.
