Another big month for FOX News Channel. For the 43rd consecutive month FOX came in first place. On The Record with Greta Van Susteren was the big ratings winner in July, with a viewership increase of 58% to 2,158,000 viewers. This was the second month in a row she came in second behind The O’Reilly Factor.
FOX widened the gap between itself and CNN, an increase of 85% in Prime Time viewership since Jan 2005 and an increase of 46% in Total Day since Jan. 2005. FOX’s total advantage over CNN is 168% in Primetime and 127% in Total Day. FOX was up 28% in the Primetime Demo and up 9% in the Total Day Demo. Overall FOX had a 38% gain in Primetime viewership while CNN dropped 3% during Primetime. FOX now has the top 7 programs on Cable News as Larry King slipped behind FOX’s daytime programming to 8th.
MSNBC suffered an 11% drop in Primetime vs July 2004, probably mostly due to the ratings challenged The Situation. Headline News had a 96% gain in Primetime because of the juggernaut that is Nancy Grace.
Here is the program ranker for July. ICN apologizes for the large graphic but we just found out our blog software won’t upload PDF files…

It's getting to the point where there will be one chart to track FNC ratings, and another for the rest of the cable news industry. 11 of the top 12 spots are all FOX News, nobody else even registers until #8, and that's the former reigning champion of cable news, Larry King.
Give me a break.
FNC Rules ~ Bump!
You can bet your Kalpoes it was the Van Der Sloot factor...
That was hilarious!!!
Nancy Grace. Frankly, I have never heard of her.
Thanks. I have been wanting to say either "You can bet your Kalpoes" or "What in the Van Der Sloot" for a month ;>)
CNN Headline News, which has never attracted a million viewers to any of its regular programming, may be about to do so. Nancy Grace has been nudging that mark closely in recent days, including Friday when she attracted 942,000 viewers, according to Inside Cable News. Her numbers thereby topped those of each of the regular CNN channel's primetime personalities except Larry King, who drew 1.08 million viewers. Grace also appeared to be cannibalizing the audience for Paula Zahn Now, which airs at the same time. Zahn's numbers were the lowest of the night for CNN, 437,000 viewers -- fewer than half the number for Grace.
"Nancy Grace. Frankly, I have never heard of her."
Just look for a mug itching to be bitchslapped.
She is to journalism as 'ambulance chaser' is to the practice of law. All her 'stories' are of the outrage variety which give her the opportunity to hem and haw and raise a fuss. Completely worthless show as far as gaining any information.
I'm a Fox fan, but I told them when it comes to Aruba, let me know when you find a body.

Fox News pwns all.
Way to go Fox! LOL I never watch Greta, but I watch the rest of them!
It must suck to be CNN.
Hail to the Queen of FoxNews. She may not have the most intelligent show on FoxNews but she is undoubtably the most attractive female ever to sit behind the desk of a major TV news studio.
Sam...put down the remote and step away from the 9 inch black and white TV...
?"attractive"?...she's 'earthy' I'll admit...but...Laurie Dhue sits behind a desk too...ahem.
