President Obama Interview Delivers Big Ratings for Fox News Sunday

President Obama‘s first Fox News Sunday appearance of his presidency earned the Sunday news program its second-biggest ratings of the year.

A total of 1.6 million viewers, with 516K in the 25-54 demo, watched the president’s interview with Chris Wallace when it aired on Fox yesterday morning. Re-airings on Fox News Channel yesterday pushed the total number of viewers to 5.4 million, with 1.3 million in the demo.

The Sunday telecast saw a 26 percent increase in total viewers (and roughly the same for the demo) since the same weekend in 2015.

The president made a lot of news on Fox News Sunday, from talking about his biggest mistake as president to his comments on Hillary Clinton‘s emails.
