July ’10 Ratings: Fox News Has More Total Viewers Than MSNBC, CNN, HLN Combined

As usual, Fox news channel held a commanding lead over its cable news competition in July. The network had more total viewers than CNN, MSNBC and HLN combined in primetime, averaging 1.85M (CNN+HLN+MSNBC= 1.66M).

Total Day (Mon-Sun): 999k total/270k A25-54
Prime (Mon-Sun): 1.85M total/461k A25-54

As was the case with CNN and MSNBC, those numbers are down from last July, with the coverage of Michael Jackson’s death a possible culprit.

The network was third among all cable channels in total viewers, trailing only Summer stalwarts USA and TNT.
