Fox News has oldest cable audience

I don’t know about you, but I’m  not surprised.

Fox News is the old folks drug of choice.

My Mother, who is in assisted living with dementia, watches it all day and night.  I now know she is their typical viewer!

Interesting note from the Hollywood Reporter:

Who has the most watched news network in all the land?

Fox News!

And who has the oldest audience in all of cable?

Fox News!

In a survey released by analyst Steve Sternberg, Fox News has the oldest audience among fully distributed cable networks. The network’s average viewer last season was 65 years old, according to Nielsen. Heck, it’s viewers are even older than viewers of Hallmark Channel, Military Channel and Golf Channel.

Perhaps the reason viewers tend to leave Fox News on all day racking up hours of big Nielsen numbers is they can’t actually change the channel?
