Fox News Channel owned Brett Kavanaugh vote viewing on Saturday.
Coverage of the Senate vote sending controversial Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court handed FNC its biggest Saturday total-day crowd since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and its biggest Saturday primetime audience since the Iraq War in 03.
In addition to beating CNN and MSNBC combined in total day and primetime total viewers, the sealing of deal for Kavanaugh clocked FNCs best delivery in the news demo since the day after President Donald Trumps inauguration.
FNC averaged 4.3 million in total viewers and 819K in the 25-54 demo from 3 PM – 5 PM ET Saturday, beating CNN (1.2 million viewers; 326K,000 news-demo viewers) and MSNBC (914K; 175K). FNC spiked more than 450% in both metrics in that two-hour block of time compared to networks Q3 Saturday average.
Not surprisingly, FNCs Justice with Judge Jeanine airing of Trumps victory-lap interview dominated its timeslot, bagging 3.3 million viewers, 530K in the news demo. It was Pirros highest rated show in 2018.
Heres the data:
