"Fox News Tonight" — the program temporarily filling the slot long occupied by Carlson — pulled in 1.7 million viewers with "Fox & Friends" host Brian Kilmeade, according to Nielsen data.
The number is 47% below what "Tucker Carlson Tonight" delivered in the 8 p.m. Eastern hour a week earlier on April 16. Carlson averaged 3.2 million viewers in the first quarter of 2023.
Without the tentpole that Carlson's program provided, the ratings for other Fox News shows were down as well. "Hannity" averaged 2 million viewers, a decline of 20% from the previous week. "The Ingraham Angle" scored 1.56 million, down 12%.
pb's said that Bud Light's problems are not the result of a boycott. Bud Light's "fratty" customers who have an "out of touch (sense of) humor," have moved on from Bud Light. The Fox thing is a boycott. How quickly Fox recovers, if ever, remains to be seen.
