Harris Faulkner just delivered a stunning ratings victory for Fox News, as her show, The Faulkner Focus, officially outdrew ABC’s The View—a major milestone in the ongoing media battle. Despite The View airing on broadcast TV with a wider reach, Faulkner’s cable-only program still pulled in more viewers, proving that Americans are turning to her brand of news over the liberal-leaning daytime talk show. Overjoyed by the success, Faulkner credited her loyal audience and hardworking team, promising to continue delivering news that respects all perspectives.
But that’s not the only big news for Fox—January marked its best month ever, with primetime ratings soaring to 2.8 million average viewers. The network remains America’s most-watched cable news powerhouse for the 23rd consecutive year, a streak that CEO Suzanne Scott called a testament to the dedication and excellence of Fox’s on- and off-air teams. As Fox continues to dominate, its competitors are facing brutal realities.
CNN and NBC are in turmoil, announcing sweeping layoffs as they scramble to adapt to the changing media landscape. CNN CEO Mark Thompson confirmed that hundreds of employees will be cut as the network attempts to shift focus to digital platforms. While CNN claims it’s an effort to modernize, the reality is clear—legacy networks are struggling to keep up, while Fox News surges ahead, proving that audiences are choosing substance over spin.
