As if that matters to half the country. They're still the top "news" channel.

I feel like this is overblown. I know for a fact that some places everything from Military Bases to Doctors offices and Car dealerships literally just keep Fox on the TV not because they watch it but just to have something on for customers to drown in. I’ve asked in a few places to change the channel or simply turn it off and have been told it’s a requirement to have it on.

I don't think that has much to do with the ratings numbers.

What? How many TVs are playing a said network is exactly how ratings are determined.

How does a broadcast channel know how many TVs are receiving the signal?
