For 120 weeks running, Fox News led the weekly ratings. However, many people threw them overboard after the network cancelled Tucker Carlson and his show in April.

They are now becoming aware that those activities could have far-reaching effects.

Fox has now dropped out of the top spot, using the Neilsen data.

A.J. Katz, a journalist focusing in the cable news industry, posted Nielsen statistics on Tuesday, addressing the week and concluding this past Sunday on Twitter. The statistics shows Fox’s 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET median viewership was 1,504,429.

During the exact same time period, the more liberal, left-leaning MSNBC slightly outperformed the conservative broadcaster, which has consistently been the cable news audience leader with an average audience of 1,520,857 viewers.

The results from last week signaled the end of a protracted period in which Fox News dominated the ratings, as Katz pointed out in a tweet.

Fox’s 120-week winning record in primetime “seems to be finished, barring a last-minute data reporting transformation,” Katz said.

As they sought to fill Carlson’s previous spot with alternate hosts, the number of viewers in the 8 p.m. primetime hour decreased by 50%, but their entire program has seen a decline in viewers.

Their wallets will take a direct blow from this since, along with to the numbers decline, it will probably be more difficult for them to negotiate greater cable provider prices as a result.

As CNN followers were having a fit over the network’s efforts to be more unbiased under the leadership of CEO Chris Licht, MSNBC additionally gained people from CNN.

Katz predicted they would likely regain the advantage the next week, but it would shrink.

What’s interesting on the very top of that is Tucker Carlson recently debuted his own Twitter show, which is outperforming Fox by a wide margin.
