NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel is airing the Jan. 6 committee hearings
when they occur in daytime hours and a striking number of the network’s
viewers have made clear they’d rather be doing something else.

During two daytime hearings last week, Fox averaged 727,000 viewers, the
Nielsen company said. That compares to the 3.09 million who watched the
hearings on MSNBC and the 2.21 million tuned in to CNN.

It completely flips the typical viewing pattern for the news networks.
During weekdays when the hearings are not taking place, Fox News Channel
routinely has more viewers than the other two networks combined, Nielsen
said.

Last Thursday, Fox had 1.33 million viewers for the 2 p.m. Eastern hour
before the hearing started — slightly below its second quarter average but
on par for early summer, when fewer people are watching TV.

After the hearing started, Fox’s audience’s sank to 747,000 for the 3 p.m.
Eastern hour and even lower, to 718,000, at 4 p.m. Fox cut away from the
hearing at 5 p.m. to show its popular panel program, “The Five,” and fans
immediately rewarded them: viewership shot up to 2.76 million people,
Nielsen said.

The apparent lack of interest explains why the frequently Trump-friendly
network stuck with its regular lineup during the committee’s only prime-
time hearing, while ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC all showed the Washington
proceedings. “The Five” has also been cable television’s most-watched
show, on average, for nine months.

ABC won the week in prime time, averaging 3.6 million viewers. CBS had 3
million, NBC had 2.5 million, Fox had 1.6 million, Univision had 1.1
million, Ion Television had 1.04 million and Telemundo had 990,000
viewers.

Fox News Channel led cable networks with an average viewership of 2.17
million in prime time. MSNBC had 1.41 million, ESPN had 1.21 million, HGTV
had 938,000 and Hallmark had 777,000.

ABC’s “World News Tonight” on the evening news ratings race with an
average of 6.6 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” had 6.1 million and
the “CBS Evening News” had 4.5 million.

For the week of June 20-26, the 20 most-watched program in prime time,

Of course. Fox viewers are stupid and want to remain stupid.
