How many people are watching the new Fox Business Network?

About 6,300, on average, on any given weekday, according to early estimates compiled by Nielsen Media Research. By contrast, Fox Business’s chief competitor, CNBC, attracted about 283,000 viewers each weekday from Oct. 15 through Dec. 14, the first two months that Fox Business was on the air, according to Nielsen’s calculations.

While Nielsen, at the network’s request, has measured the viewership of Fox Business since its premiere, Nielsen is not permitted to release or even confirm those figures publicly. That is because they are so low as to fall below Nielsen’s minimum standards for reporting, said Gary Holmes, a Nielsen spokesman.

It's a brand new niche network and not available on most cable systems. I've turned it on a few times (as a somewhat market junkie) and the graphics and information seem better organized than CNBC/Bloomberg/etc.

you seem to be its only defender here. just sayin.........

Other than having business programming in the background when I work from home. Jeez, don't be so suspicious. Plenty of people around here watch Fox broadcasting for entertainment without being flamed. I don't see the difference. :shrug:

because the ones they have cover the economic news 24-7. for those ratings dish isn`t going to make room for fox. the dam shopping networks have more viewers than that

Couldn't tell with the other eight hundred channels we've got. :eyes:

Raise the hemlines and lower the necklines!

:evilgrin:
