Americans were glued to their television sets on Election Night.
Major news networks were all in competition for who could provide the quickest and accurate results as soon as they came in.
And MSNBC executives are having a total meltdown after they received the worst possible news.
Fox News was off the charts
Americans thoroughly rejected Democrats’ radical left-wing agenda in the 2024 election.
President-elect Donald Trump won an electoral landslide and even won the popular vote this year by a huge margin.
Republicans also took back control of the Senate, flipping several key states.
During the competition among television networks to cover the results, there was also a clear winner.
Fox News’ primetime coverage saw an average viewership of 10.3 million.
Of those viewers, 3.1 million were in the age range of 25-54, a demographic that advertisers see as the most valuable.
Fox Broadcasting Network had a viewership of 2 million, while Fox Business had just under 900,000.
The total viewership of Fox-owned stations was an impressive 13.6 million viewers.
Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott celebrated the ratings bonanza.
“Fox News dominated every aspect of this historic election cycle, from primary debates to town halls to being the only network to conduct interviews with all four candidates in both parties in a one-week span as Bret Baier helmed the most buzzed about interview of the race,” she said in a statement. “I am extremely proud of our team’s commitment to delivering the top reporting and analysis to the largest and most politically diverse audience in news and once again beating every broadcast and cable network across the board.”
MSNBC was a distant second place
Left-wing network MSNBC only garnered 6 million primetime viewers, coming in a distant second place to Fox in the ratings wars.
ABC had 5.9 million viewers, while NBC mustered just 5.5 million viewers.
CNN couldn’t even make the top 3, coming in at barely over 5 million viewers.
Fox News had more election night viewership than CNN and MSNBC combined.
Fox still had 7.4 million viewers at 1 A.M. eastern time when the network called the election for Trump after he won Pennsylvania.
At 3 A.M., 4.7 million total viewers were still up watching Trump’s victory speech.
Meanwhile, MSNBC had only 2.6 million viewers, and CNN had only 2.1 million during the same timeslot.
This is the second election in a row in which Fox News has dominated all other cable news stations.
The network had the highest viewership of every swing state in the nation, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to Nielsen Media Research.
It wasn’t just conservatives who turned to Fox News for their election night coverage.
According to Nielsen MRI Fusion data, Fox News beat MSNBC and CNN among Independents and even Democrats.
Fox News also dominated the leftist controlled media on social media engagement, collecting 2.9 social interactions across Facebook, Instagram and X, according to Emplifi.
The Fox News mobile app also jumped up to the third most downloaded free app on the App Store.
Kamala Harris lost big on election night, and so did her media allies.
