Fox News viewership surges following Trump-Biden debate, trouncing all news networks during historic election

Fox News Channel has seen a dramatic surge in viewership following last month's presidential debate, trouncing all other news networks as the dramatic 2024 election cycle unfolds.

From the June 27 debate through July 21, Fox News averaged a whopping four million total weeknight primetime viewers, crushing MSNBC and CNN's viewership combined. MSNBC averaged just 1.3 million viewers during that same time period, while CNN trailed with only 1.1 million viewers.

Fox News also bested the primetime viewership of the broadcast networks, which historically have larger audiences than cable options. NBC averaged three million total viewers during the same time period, while ABC averaged 2.6 million viewers and CBS averaged 2.3 million viewers.

Fox News maintained its dominance when including its weekend primetime viewership, averaging 3.6 million viewers for the entire week as breaking news occurred to beat MSNBC and CNN combined in that category, too.
