Could Fox News lose its grip on far-right conservative viewers to Newsmax, OAN?

A surge of post-election momentum for pro-Trump networks suggests that Fox News’ status as the primary cable news destination of far-right conservative viewers may not be as solid as previously thought.

But it’s unclear whether recent audience growth for Newsmax and One America News (OAN) is sustainable – and experts question whether those networks can lure the type of advertisers that have enriched Fox News.

In the period leading up to the election and in the weeks thereafter, Newsmax and OAN have attracted a growing audience of far-right conservatives by amplifying President Donald Trump's declaration of victory and his accusations of election fraud.

Newsmax, the larger of the two, appears to have made a dent in Fox News’ ratings since then, although Fox News remains the far-and-away leader.

Bea Quirk, a 76-year-old retiree from Colonial Beach, Virginia, said she switched from Fox News to Newsmax after Fox News "pushed Trump aside" by declaring Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election.

"I have watched Fox News since long before Trump walked down the aisle," she said. "I'm a Trump fan. I don't like the way he was treated."

In the last full week before the election, primetime ratings for Fox News were more than 90 times greater than primetime ratings for Newsmax, according to ratings tracker Nielsen.

But in the first full week after the election, Fox News' lead had declined to less than nine times the ratings of Newsmax. And by the week of Nov. 30, the lead was down to less than seven times.

“Fox News is being forced to actually compete for its audience for the first time in years,” said Matt Gertz, senior fellow at Media Matters for America, a liberal watchdog group that closely tracks cable news. “They have had more or less a monopoly over right-wing cable news and have been the focal point of the overall conservative media ecosystem for decades – and now they are needing to deal with competitors coming from the right and trying to take away some of their market share.”

To be sure, Fox News has remained the most-watched cable news network in primetime, also besting CNN and MSNBC despite recent growth for those networks. But the momentum is undeniable for Newsmax, which averaged 401,000 viewers in primetime the week of Nov. 30, compared with 57,000 the week before the election and 233,000 the week of the election, according to Nielsen.
