Like other programs on Fox News, the morning show Fox & Friends celebrated their 100th month as the top cable news morning show in February. It was the only morning show to grow year-to-year in both total viewers and the A25-54 demographic.

More details on the F&F milestone, and all of Fox News’ ratings, after the jump.

Fox & Friends was the #2 program on all of cable from 6-9amET in February, in both categories. It was #2 behind just NICK in total viewers and TNT in the demo.

Other highlights:

• Special Report at 6pmET and FOX Report at 7pmET finished in the top five cable news programs overall, in both categories. Special Report was 3rd, behind Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck (but ahead of Sean Hannity) in total viewers.

• FNC had the top 13 programs in total viewers and the demo on all of cable news for the 2nd consecutive month.

• The new America Live with Megyn Kelly at 1pmET was the only program at that hour to show growth year-to-year in both categories.

• While all CNN and MSNBC programs were down double digits year-to-year, FNC showed growth with Your World (in total viewers), O’Reilly Factor and FOX Report (in demo) and Special Report (in both). However Hannity was down 11% in total viewers and 9% in the demo and prime time as a whole was down 7% in total viewers.

Is this your way of changing the subject to something more negative to FNC?

Do you think it will work?

“FNC had the top 13 programs in total viewers”

FNC is kicking ASS. When will the other networks start imitating what Fox does.

I just thought it was funny. You are like a FNC press release – there is no way you can say anything without sounding like a total dick.

Thanks for the clip, Cubby. I always love seeing that bit of embarrassment.

I have to say this is significant. The top rated “cable news show in the morning”. What are we talking about? 500,000,000 viewers each morning. Well, more like 1.3M in the stale old codger market and .4M in the pregnant and dropped out of high school market. Almost 1/2 of 1% of Americans! The prettiest girl in West Virginia? The brightest kid in Alabama? All H-U-U-U-G-E. All such great honors, on cable, behind NICK and TNT; lagging behind local morning shows in almost every big city market; well behind the broadcast networks’ morning shows. H-U-U-U-G-E!

Such bitterness, (White) Royal “K”ing. And could you provide the study proving those demographics you mentioned? Thanks.
