Revision as of 21:37, November 22, 2016
, 21:37, November 22, 2016→Incredible Demographic -- No Citation of Support for it: sign
"The average age of its viewership is 74 years old, and even 79 years old for its O'Reilly Factor." There is no citation given to support that claim. I find it incredible, which is not to say it is definitely untrue. Also the use of the present tense for such statements is not advisable, as they can change over time. I suggest that the statement read something like, "For 2016, Neilson claims that the average age of viewership is 74 years old." But I wonder how anyone could know that. A cable subscriber might be 74 years old, but Fox News is watched in his home by his 20 year old wife. ([[User:Thunkful2|Thunkful2]] ([[User talk:Thunkful2|talk]]) 02:21, 22 November 2016 (EST))

:I was surprised by that statistic when I read it too, but never did the research. I just did a quick search, and found [http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/cable-news/fox-news-channel-1-in-primetime-last-night-among-adults-25-54-and-total-viewership/ this] which seems to contradict that claim.
