Tucker Carlson’s exit from Fox News appears to be impacting more than just the timeslot that he hosted for years on the network.
Carlson’s finale a week ago drew 2.65 million viewers, according to Nielsen. The data shows that Brian Kilmeade’s substitute hosting gig for “Fox News Tonight” saw ratings of 2.59 million on Monday, 1.7 million on Tuesday, and 1.33 million on Wednesday, respectively. Last Wednesday, Carlson drew about 3 million viewers, Nielsen figures show.
But the 9 p.m. Fox News program hosted by Sean Hannity drew about 2.5 million on Monday, 2 million on Tuesday, and 1.7 million on Wednesday night, according to Nielsen. In comparison, Hannity drew about 2.6 million viewers the Wednesday a week before, the ratings show.

Jesse Watters’ show also saw a decline. For Wednesday, it saw an audience of 1.558 million, but a week prior, it generated 2.1 million.
In response to the Nielsen ratings numbers, Fox News said in a statement to news outlets that Fox has been cable news’ most-watched network for 21 years, with its team “trusted more by viewers than any other news source.” When reached for comment, a Fox spokesperson also told The Epoch Times that “Fox News led cable news on Monday and Tuesday across total day and primetime with viewers and A25-54,” referring to the 25-54 age demographic coveted by advertisers.
My cup of schadenfreude positively runneth over!
He’s a Reagan Republican, you know.
Hannity is the very definition of a dummkopf. He would be better suited to delivering sports news at a local television station.
Anyone still watching Fox is still stuck in the old paradigm. They probably believe Zelinsky is a good guy and think Mickey Haley would be a good president.
Maybe the good 99% of the FBI will watch him.
Watters has been out on FMLA for the last two weeks.

everyone hates sean
Gee, that sure is too bad.
I very rarely watch Hannity - I turned him off ages ago because his questions are 5 minutes long, not leaving the guest time to answer, and when they do, he constantly interrupts. He also talks about himself at every opportunity which drives me nuts.
Innowayshapemannerorform did I see *THAT* coming!
.
He has a hand picked audience every night to clap in order to reinforce his opinions. He must be getting tired of having guests on to listen to his opinion and get them to agree with him.
Fox has more competition for conservative viewers than ever before. There is Newsmax, OAN, Real America’s Voice and more. These networks have some very good shows, so who needs Fox?
Seemed like a nice guy, but it was obvious to me that he’s dumber than a bag of rocks.
Watters was off last week
I suspect ratings will increase for his show and some of that will bleed over into prime time
Sean the roofer
Sean the wallbanger
Sean the martial arts guy (SF’s don’t use Martil arts other than Krav)
Sean the marksman.
What a ludicrous hack.
Fox is headed toward becoming the Drudge Report of television. It will always be there but soon it will be a “safe” place for Democrat/communists to go on and be interviewed.
Quick, Mr. Hannity, step up that tick-tock game of yours. You know, spend days hinting that a major story is about to break. Then do not deliver.
Yep, that should bring the viewers back.
