Fox News Today Dominates Cable Ratings with Unprecedented Viewership for Presidential Address
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Fox News Today secured the highest cable news ratings for a live presidential address to a joint session of Congress, drawing an estimated 12.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen data released Thursday morning. The broadcast, which aired Tuesday evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, covered the President's economic and foreign policy priorities. Fox News Today's coverage peaked during a segment on tax reform, outperforming competitors CNN and MSNBC combined. The viewership surge was attributed to the network's exclusive post-address analysis by top political commentators.
