Laura: Newsflash to the elites
Fox News host Laura Ingraham argues the left is livid because its cultural monopoly is over on The Ingraham Angle.
Fox News Channel’s revamped primetime lineup of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity and Greg Gutfeld has grown the network’s audience after one month.
The new lineup launched on July 17 with "The Ingraham Angle" kicking things off at 7 p.m. ET, followed by "Jesse Watters Primetime" at 8 p.m. ET, "Hannity" remaining at 9 p.m. ET and "Gutfeld!" now beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
From its debut through the week of August 14-21, Fox News has grown 23% among total viewers and 31% among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 compared to the month prior (June 17 through July 16) from 7-11 p.m. ET.
