Fox News Dominates YouTube in October with 377 Million Views, Beating Competition for Sixth Straight Month
In October, Fox News Media emerged as the top news brand on YouTube, surpassing its competitors with an impressive 377 million video views, according to Emplifi. This marks the sixth consecutive month that Fox News has held the top spot, solidifying its dominance in the digital media landscape.
Fox News Media's success on YouTube is particularly notable when compared to its rivals. It outperformed MSNBC by nearly 50 million views, with 329 million views, and CNN, which accumulated 186 million views. Furthermore, Fox News Media's performance extended beyond YouTube, as it also topped ABC News, NBC News, and CBS News in terms of combined video views.
The Fox News Clips platform, launched in May, has played a significant role in this success. It provides the latest reporting and analysis from Fox News Channel, offering viewers a comprehensive and up-to-date source of news and information. Additionally, the flagship Fox News account boasts over 14.6 million subscribers, further enhancing its reach and influence.
Fox News' emphasis on YouTube has paid off, as the platform has become a key focus for the company in 2025. The company's commitment to digital media is evident in its strong performance across various social media platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and X, where it accumulated 162.4 million social media interactions.
In the news-heavy month of October, Fox News continued to dominate linear television, surpassing the combined viewership of MSNBC and CNN across key metrics. The channel averaged 1.5 million total day viewers, securing the top position among all cable options. During primetime, Fox News averaged an impressive 2.3 million viewers, far surpassing its competitors with MSNBC averaging 815,000 and CNN delivering only 504,000.
The success of Fox News can be attributed to its strong lineup of hosts, including Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld, who engage and inform audiences across various platforms. With its continued focus on digital media and its ability to connect with viewers, Fox News is poised to maintain its leadership position in the ever-evolving media landscape.
