Although it had a very minor week-over-week increase in overall watch-time, Fox News moves up from third to first place on the network ranking. Its 6.29% viewership share was driven in part by Fox & Friends, The Five and America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer & Dana Perino. NBC, the previous leader, slips to second place with 5.94% of all minutes watched.
Some other highlights around the network ranking:
- Two networks maintain chart positions but increased watch-time from the previous week: Fox, which benefited from UEFA Euro 2024 soccer and MLB games, and Telemundo, which is attracting audiences with Top Chef VIP.
- Hallmark moves from No. 13 previously to No. 8, thanks in part to reruns of The Golden Girls.
- There were two week-over-week ranking newcomers: Paramount Network (No. 15) and FX (No. 23). Reruns of Yellowstone fueled the former’s rise, while a slate of Marvel movies plus the classic Independence Day helped FX capture watch-time.
Major League Baseball and Wimbledon were the week’s programming winners — see the full chart on TVREV.
