Fox News Channel will finish 2023 as cable television’s most-watched network for the eighth consecutive year as "The Five" continued to make history and the network’s new primetime lineup thrived.
"During yet another unprecedented news cycle, cable viewers continued to choose Fox News Channel. From moderating debates to reporting in war zones and many stories in between, I am honored to work alongside this unrivaled team of journalists and opinion hosts as they continue to exceed expectations," FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said.
"The Five," with Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, Dana Perino, Jeanine Pirro and rotating co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr., finished as the No. 1 program on cable news for the second consecutive year, averaging 2.9 million total viewers.

When it comes to the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54, "The Five" finished No. 1, with 303,000 average viewers from the critical category. It was the first time in TV history that a non-primetime cable program finished first in the category.
