Fox News finished 2024 with the highest audience share in nearly a decade and marked nine years in a row as the most-watched network in cable news.

The hit show “The Five” smashed records as the number one cable news program in viewers and became the “first non-primetime program to ever deliver four million viewers in the fourth quarter,” according to a press release from Fox News.

It was also a huge year for two hosts of “The Five,” Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld. The late-night hit ‘Gutfeld!’ was the most watched in the 25-54 age demographic and “Jesse Watters Primetime” topped the 18-49 year old demographic.

During its highest-rated fourth quarter ever (4,026,000 P2+; 429,000 A25-54), The Five made history by becoming the first non-primetime show to reach over four million viewers and by topping cable news in viewership for three straight years.

With an average of 3.4 million viewers and 331,000 in the 25–54 demographic, FNC’s late afternoon ensemble program (weekdays, 5 PM/ET) attracted the greatest audience of any cable news program in 2024. With The Ingraham Angle topping the 7 PM/ET timeslot with 2.5 million viewers and 278,000 in the 25-54 demographic, FNC’s primetime lineup dominated the cable news competition.
