The 8pm slot is a disaster for Fox; that much people know. Fox has lost 70% of viewers “in the demo” of viewers 25-54 in that hour. Tucker was one of the few people at Fox who could bring in young audiences, now that’s gone.

But the unexpected disaster is Hannity.

Hannity is now at #26 in the demo, below the lowly Anderson Cooper, Joy Reid, Jake Tapper, Katie Tur, and Erin Burnett. The Ingraham Angle is at #28.

Gutfeld’s two shows are now #1 and #2. Jesse Watters is also weathering the storm.

Update: From a FOX News spokesperson:

“These demo numbers are focused on Friday night, when Hannity had a guest-host and both programs were specials. Hannity and The Ingraham Angle have ranked in the top 10 programs in the demo for the past eight days.”

[A couple of weeks ago, Jack Shafer argued that previous departures of Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly showed that Fox’s hosts were interchangeable and that the network itself was enough to hold the audience. I countered that this situation was different — and it looked like a rejection of Tucker Carlson’s audience along with Tucker. The ratings seem to be bearing out my analysis. — Ed]
