"America’s Newsroom" with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino averaged 1.7 million viewers from September through the first two weeks of October, topping ABC and NBC in the process. 

Over the same time period, ABC’s "GMA3: What You Need To Know" averaged 1.6 million viewers and NBC’s "Today With Hoda & Jenna" averaged 1.5 million. Hemmer and Perino have now outdrawn NBC and ABC for eight straight weeks as Americans flock to Fox News for information and analysis. 

Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino teamed up to relaunch "America’s Newsroom" in January.

While Hemmer and Perino topped broadcast networks, their program has also dominated CNN and MSNBC among both total viewers and the key news demographic of adults age 25-54.

Since the start of September, "America’s Newsroom" has outdrawn CNN’s timeslot completion by a staggering 174% and topped MSNBC’s 9-11 a.m. ET programming by 136%. Among the advertiser-coveted demo, Hemmer and Perino have outdrawn CNN by 104% and MSNBC by a remarkable 245%. 

"America’s Newsroom" beat CNN and MSNBC combined among both total viewers and the demo from Aug. 30 through Oct. 13. 

"Gutfeld!" is another Fox News offering that has topped established timeslot competition. 

Fox News’ foray into late-night style programming averaged 1.9 million viewers from September through the first two weeks of October, topping NBC’s "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" and ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
