Newsmax TV has scored a historic, first-ever ratings victory over Fox News Channel, according to a CNN Business report.
The notable win came this week in the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic prized by advertisers, when the “Greg Kelly Reports” show topped Fox’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”
Kelly’s show averaged 229,000 viewers compared to MacCallum’s which averaged 203,000.
“Before the election, Newsmax was not regarded as a formidable competitor to Fox; it was mostly dismissed as one of a handful of wannabe challengers,” the CNN writeup states.
“But President Trump’s loss on November 3 changed the cable TV calculus.”
...
In one regard, CNN is incorrect in their reporting. It wasn’t Trump’s loss that has led to viewers seeking alternatives to Fox News.
It was Fox News’ embarrassing coverage of the election and subsequent embarrassing coverage of concerns about the integrity of the election.
Aside from calling the state of Arizona prematurely on election night, a move the New York Times would later admit “changed the tenor of the night,” Fox has frequently engaged in mockery of those who believe there was some level of fraud in the voting process.

No.
I didn’t walk away from FOX.
FOX walked away from me.
Won’t be the last. I think fox screwed themselves on election night. They were acting weird a few days before. They are dumb.
/rhet....
Fox can and will ESAD.
They were shoving the despicable Chris Wallace down our throats for days.
I might have missed it before, but for the first time I saw a My pillow commercial on NewsMax today.
Chris Wallace is insufferable.
Fox stabbed us in the front on election night.
Let’s,drive their viewership to ZERO !!
Then we can say :
WE,DID IT !!
Agreed. FOX sounded the alarm with their early Arizona call for Biden. Not long after that, they stopped counting votes in those corrupt states. The premise: If FOX calls it for Biden conservatives have to accept it. BS!!
Well, I tell everybody who even mentions FOX that nobody watches FOX. I also tell them that Newman is a lot like FOX when it first started.
Wow nobody knew this until blog pimp told us. Oh wait we all knew this old cut and paste clickbait story from men recreation.

Have President Trump’s four years in office been a success?
Yes - A resounding success.
No - It’s been a complete failure.
A little bit of both.

“But President Trump’s loss on November 3 changed the cable TV calculus.”
NewsMax is Making Waves Against Fox News Because of Their Coverage
In one regard, CNN is incorrect in their reporting. It wasn’t Trump’s loss that has led to viewers seeking alternatives to Fox News.
It was Fox News’ embarrassing coverage of the election and subsequent embarrassing coverage of concerns about the integrity of the election.
Aside from calling the state of Arizona prematurely on election night, a move the New York Times would later admit “changed the tenor of the night,” Fox has frequently engaged in mockery of those who believe there was some level of fraud in the voting process.
Earlier this month, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany had a press conference on potential election fraud cut short by host Neil Cavuto.
McEnany claimed that the Trump campaign “want(s) every legal vote to be counted, and we want every illegal vote …” before Cavuto interjected in a wild moment.
Shortly thereafter, Fox News host Sandra Smith was caught on a hot mic mocking a guest for commenting on claims of voter fraud and saying the media doesn’t call the winner.
And just last week, Fox News host Eric Shawn mocked Donald Trump as unable to “wrap his brain around the fact” that he lost the election to Joe Biden.
It’s that level of condescension that has turned viewers off.
Fox is Still King
It should be noted that Newsmax TV’s win is a minor one in the grand scheme of things. Fox News is still, by far, the king of cable news networks.
“Fox News is still four times higher-rated than Newsmax at any given time of day, according to Nielsen,” CNN reports. “Among viewers of all ages, Fox averaged 1.36 million viewers around the clock on Monday, while Newsmax averaged 316,000 viewers.”
And conservatives still find a friendly home with certain personalities on Fox – Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Tucker Carlson, for example.
Still, the President has sway amongst conservatives, and he has consistently urged his followers to watch alternative networks such as Newsmax.
And Newsmax is vowing to remain a strong player for some time.
“We’re here to stay,” CEO Christopher Ruddy said Tuesday. “The ratings are showing that.”

Chris Wallace is, was and always has been insufferable.
Fox pointed a loaded gun at themselves the day they hired Wallace.
They pulled the trigger when he “moderated” the debate
They drank cyanide on the day of the election
Life Liberty and Levin is their only heartbeat as far as I’m concerned
You pretty much nailed it.
No way I’m supporting a traitor to our cause.
Levin should file breach of contract, as the others, for jumping ship. The Fox people went full retard on them.
Newsmax just needs some babes in short skirts and showing some cleavage.
I haven’t watched any Fox shows since November 4. I started watching them in 1997. I watched at least 4 hours a day. Yes l am retired. No more. I am actually enjoying Newsmax and OAN through ROKU.
