Fox News regularly receives criticism from rival networks and left-wing pundits. However, the negative commentary seems to have had little, if any, impact on the network’s ratings, as Fox News Channel dominated in 2024, breaking numerous ratings records during the year. 

The network finished 2024 with the largest share of the cable news audience in almost ten years, according to a press release. It was the top-rated network “throughout the political cycle” and “more viewers tuned into the network for breaking news coverage of major events than any other cable news channel.” Additionally, Fox News Channel programs accounted for 70 of the top 100 ranked news telecasts in 2024 and maintained the “highest length of tune in the genre across all categories.”
