Fox News Channel maintains its dominance on cable news and has become the most-watched news channel among a surprising sector of the country. 

Fox News averaged 1.5 million total day viewers and 237,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demo from Feb. 7-13, finishing as the only basic cable network to surpass the one-million viewer benchmark and crushed the competition in primetime averaging 2.4 million total viewers and 367,000 viewers in the demo. 

MSNBC averaged just 1 million viewers during primetime and only 621,000 total day viewers while suffering in the demo with 114,000 average in primetime and a shocking average of 67,000 total day viewers. 

CNN, meanwhile, cratered with an average of 444,000 total day viewers and 491,000 in primetime viewers while reaching just 122,000 in the demo during primetime and averaged 92,000 among total day viewers.

However, recent data shared by Nielsen MRI Fusion show Fox News becoming the preferred cable news channel among Democrats in the key 25-54 demo. 

The data collected in October 2021 shows Fox News earning the largest share of liberal viewers in the demo with a whopping 42% while just 33% tune into CNN and 25% tune into MSNBC.
