Fox News ratings with the new lineup are unremarkable and dismal in the all-important 25-54-year-old demographic. Tucker averaged more than 400,000 viewers in this range, Watters and Hannity pulling closer to 150,000.
Tucker author Chadwick Moore wrote that the numbers are disastrous. The demo has collapsed. The overall numbers were improved, but the demo is terrible.
“Sources at Fox are telling me that last night’s much-hyped primetime reboot was a ratings disaster,” Moore says. “Executives are panicked. Hannity lost to MSNBC’s Maddow, and the 8:00 show only pulled in 149,000 from the key demographic. (Tucker routinely got at least 400k). More to come…”
Some critics thought Watters debut was disastrous, calling it narcissistic, making it about himself, and interviewing his mother.
Fox brass is “not happy” about last night’s numbers, one source says. And Fox News sock puppet accounts are very upset that the ratings are getting out. This sock puppet must know it’s an internal document because she works at Fox. https://t.co/T5J5lywiwv

In the following clip, Fox appears to beg Donald Trump to join the first Fox debate. I doubt he’ll do it. Ron DeSantis might not make it, either. Donald Trump is appearing on Hannity tonight to discuss the DOJ’s new charges. The DOJ thinks Mr. Trump is El Chapo. In any case, he’s helping his friend Hannity with his ratings this evening.
Fox & Friends was at one time Donald J. Trump’s favorite show. He used to call in live and chat with the hosts. They also used to address him directly. This morning the hosts seemed to BEG Trump to be part of the Fox News Republican debate. I’m sure he’s good for ratings. pic.twitter.com/bZ5PCHYIF1

Trust me anyone wrking at FOX is just like anyone wrking at MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CNN or any other woke outfit.
The RINO Channel bean counters are never going to be happy anymore. I suppose the far left people running Faux are pressuring the staff to do the impossible, to recover from its sellout of America.
This key demo concept is questionable. I see no numbers for total viewers. The total numbers are also bad. Little changed moving Watters. The bean counters will micromanage forever, with no tangible result.
Anyone misguided enough to tune in Watters should have tuned out immediately, with his mother calling in and trashing Trump. That is how Faux opened up its new lineup, with a gratuitous attack on Trump. When does a news host in his launching show have mom call in? Why would Faux start its “recovery” by making a mistake similar to all the other ones it has made?
FOX Light, Bud Light . . twins.
Hannity does not have friends! H is about money. I lied, Graham is a friend cause he doesn’t ask Graham hard questions. He will ask Trump tougher questions than he asks Graham. H is one of my favorite NEOCONs!
Trump has to realize what an awful person Hannity is. Trump has to use media junk media outlets in campaigning. He used CNN. Trump dealt with backstabbers his entire career.
You are correct, my rants on Hannity and other NEOCONS are more for the readers than Trump. Merely want patriots to be aware of the phony Conservatives.
I once read that narcissistic people are good at some jobs like sales and newscasting. Well it must not be so true for the later, at least for this viewer and others, as Watters was so accused and I stopped watching Hannity and Ingraham because their shows were all about them and not those they interviewed. Now they are are getting flushed down the tube by……… Maddows?????
Don’t know if the world is coming to an end, but sanity might be….
