The epic pratfall of Fox News’ reshuffle of its primetime lineup has been a phenomenal flop, with ratings taking a nosedive into the depths of an abyss.
The network’s decision to fire Tucker Carlson and revamp their primetime block is seemingly backfiring, as they have fallen behind MSNBC in the ratings.
Chadwick Moore, author of ‘Tucker’, revealed inside information regarding the mounting panic that has befallen Fox News.
Sources within Fox report that Monday’s much-hyped primetime reboot was nothing but a dismal failure.
Executives are said to be in a state of panic over how poorly it performed in both viewership and key demographic numbers – falling short of Carlson’s typical 400k viewers, compared to only 149k for the 8 o’clock show.
Gregg Re, former head writer at Tucker Carlson Tonight, provided insight into just how disastrous these numbers were when compared against prior FOX performances: Hannity fell 50k lower than Maddow while Watters drew fewer eyes in demo viewings than “Fox News Tonight” — which had since been cancelled — did last week alone!
Amidst this turmoil comes good news for Tucker Carlson himself.
According to NBC reports, his new show on Twitter will receive backing from Public Square – a conservative-friendly shopping app – securing him seven figures worth of advertising funding.
While his success continues to soar ever higher, Fox is left wallowing in defeat as their ratings continue to take an unfortunate tumble down further and further still.
It remains unclear if or how Fox News plans on reversing their current downward trend that has left them trailing behind MSNBC in the ratings race.
It appears that they may need more than just minor tweaks if they hope to make any sort of significant comeback against such formidable competition from other networks like CNN and MSNBC who have continued to pull ahead by leaps and bounds when it comes to viewership numbers.
While many questions remain unanswered regarding this situation – such as whether or not FOX will retain its position among cable news networks or fall even further away from relevance – it’s safe to say that one thing is certain: there will definitely be no shortage of people watching closely as this predicament develops over time!
