Fox News Channel has finished 2025 as the most-watched cable news network in the United States. It also achieved a new milestone: its highest television ratings ever for a non-election year.
The channel's audience numbers surpassed those of major broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC during several key time slots. This performance highlights a continued trend of strong viewer loyalty.
Industry analysts note that cable news ratings typically peak during national elections. Fox News's success in a quieter political year is therefore significant. It suggests a stable, large audience for its daily news and commentary programming.
The channel led in both total day and prime-time viewership categories for the calendar year. This marks multiple consecutive years of ratings leadership in cable news.
