Fox News has a lot to celebrate, recently finishing the third quarter of 2021 as the most-watched network in all of basic cable among both total day and primetime viewers. As the network gears up for its 25th anniversary on Thursday, it has now topped cable news for 79 straight quarters.
FNC also finished No. 1 in basic cable for the seventh straight quarter, topping both CNN and MSNBC during every hour of the day in the news-heavy quarter as Americans turned to Fox News for information and analysis.
Earlier this week, FOX Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and Fox News Media President Jay Wallace attended the ribbon-cutting for the state-of-the-art, all-digital newsroom in the newly renovated Washington, D.C., bureau

Who could ever forget having Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly in the lineup?
Or Greta Van Susteren with the stiff upper lip?
Andra Tantaros who walked off with a lot of money?
Or George Will who was publicaly demeaned by O'Reilly.
My all time favorite show was when O'Reilly held Barney Frank accountable for the Housing/Financial crisis:
We could spend the next 25 years showing videos of all the stupid stuff seen on Fox News
If you dont have time to watch the whole thing, skip to the 6:30 mark
The bigger the billboard, the weaker the argument.
And then his beef with George Will:
I think it’s kind of a shame that anyone cares how long Fox News - or any news network - has been on the air. Our relationship with news networks like this is different than it used to be and I don’t think the change has been a positive one.
