Since Tucker Carlson left Fox, Fox News Tonight has faced a ratings collapse. They filled the 8 p.m. hour with rotating Fox News personalities as hosts, including Brian Kilmeade. The channel has lost over 50% of its viewers, and the hits affect the other Fox hosts at night. Even as Fox plants hit pieces against Tucker, their numbers are dramatically lower.

This is Fox’s biggest collapse after losing a top host, but they’ve come back before. The danger here is they are moving mainstream.

We’ll update you here when Monday’s numbers come in.

When you look at the numbers below from Mediaite for the same time in 2022, compare them with Tucker’s numbers last year with the new Fox News Tonight that follows.

The entire week was like that and the other primetime hosts benefitted with numbers in the low to high two million range.

Carlson’s final show—though that wasn’t known then—was on Friday, April 24, and drew 2.56 million viewers, double his competitor Chris Hayes at MSNBC.

TVNewser reported that about 1.7 million people tuned into Fox at 8 p.m. Tuesday, down from 3.3 million viewers four weeks earlier—a 48% decline—and while Fox still had the highest ratings of prime time that night among all viewers, it dropped behind CNN and MSNBC among adults 25-54, a key demographic.

For the first time in his hosting history, Hayes had the highest ratings Wednesday among adults 25-54 and total viewers, with 1.377 million viewers over the 1.332 million who tuned into Fox News Tonight and the 643,000 who watched CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Thursday and Friday were just as bad for Fox. This could be the one thing that takes them down after all the abuse they’ve taken from the Left. They will find snuggling up to them will destroy them, and trying to destroy Tucker could be the viewers’ last straw.
