In a resounding victory, Fox News Digital reported its most successful month since November 2020, outperforming all other news outlets in key metrics like multiplatform views and minutes spent, according to Comscore data.
The platform garnered an astounding 4.5 billion multiplatform minutes, a remarkable 57% surge compared to November of the previous year. This figure dwarfs competitors like CNN (1.8 billion) and The New York Times (1.5 billion), both of which experienced declines in multiplatform minutes year over year.
Fox News Digital also led in total multiplatform views with 2.4 billion, a significant 43% increase compared to the previous year. The New York Times saw a rise of 18% to 1.7 billion views, while CNN experienced a 3% dip, landing at 1.3 billion.
This dominance extended beyond just CNN and The New York Times. Fox News Digital surpassed other major outlets including NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, The Washington Post, Insider Inc., and USA Today in both multiplatform views and minutes.
Further solidifying its digital presence, Fox News Digital attracted 114.9 million unique multiplatform visitors, marking a substantial 30% growth compared to the prior year. The FOX News Mobile App also celebrated a milestone, achieving its highest unique visitor count since September 2021, with 7.2 million users.
On YouTube, Fox News reigned supreme among news brands, amassing over 400 million video views—a staggering 114% year-over-year increase. Hours spent on the platform also saw a dramatic 171% jump compared to November 2023. Fox News led all U.S. outlets in Election Day livestream views on YouTube, peaking at over one million concurrent viewers, with the livestream of then President-elect Trump's speech surpassing all others.
It's worth noting that Fox News Digital, CBS News, NBC News, The Washington Post, and ABC News have opted to include social incremental data in their total digital multiplatform unique visitor counts, a practice not currently adopted by CNN and The New York Times.
