Fox News Digital dominates with record multiplatform minutes in February

In the United States, Fox News Digital reported significant growth in key metrics for February 2025, further establishing its dominance in the news media landscape. Fox News Digital led all competitive news brands with a staggering 4.1 billion multiplatform minutes, reflecting a notable 33% increase compared to February 2024. CNN reported a decline in its performance, finishing with only 1.4 billion multiplatform minutes, a drop of 22% from the previous year. This marked Fox News Digital's 48th consecutive month at the top, achieving over four billion multiplatform minutes for the fourth time since 2021. Multiplatform views were also exceptionally high for Fox News, recording two billion views, which is a 25% rise from the year prior. CNN's figures were significantly lower, showing a decrease across most metrics. Notably, among unique visitors to digital platforms, Fox News outperformed CNN, contributing to its status as the top news brand. In addition to these achievements, Fox News maintained its lead on YouTube, garnering 368.4 million video views, representing a staggering 103% improvement over the same period last year. The Fox News Mobile App also experienced growth, seeing 6.7 million unique visitors in February. The network showcased a strong social media presence, generating 78 million total social interactions, up 229% from the previous year, and accumulating 1.2 billion social video views across various platforms for its best month ever. This robust engagement highlights Fox News Digital as a highly engaging brand among key demographics. The Fox News Channel also excelled in live primetime viewership, averaging 3 million viewers during the week of March 10-16, surpassing broadcast competitors such as ABC and NBC. While the major networks available to broader audiences struggled, Fox News's performance was particularly momentous given its cable-only status. It reinforced its superiority over its cable news competitors, often doubling the viewership of its nearest rivals. Fox News's hold on the advertising-preferred demographic of adults aged 25-54 further solidified its dominance, consistently achieving much higher ratings compared to CNN and MSNBC.
