As Fox News ’ primary viewership retain to kick the bucketful , ecstatically transported to their makers by the sonorous flavor of Lauren Ingraham and bigotry , the company is understandably looking for a play that could make it relevant to a jr. strain of crimson chapeau . EnterFox Nation , a new cyclosis service that will ostensibly target Fox News “ superfans ” when it comes out later this year .
Per the press release :
The news comes the same day Twitch , an online - only cyclosis divine service , announced that it had more viewers , at any give time , than CNN and MSNBC . In fact , Twitch ’s average viewership , as determined by Macquarie Capital , of 962,000 viewers cast it “ square among the most - watched US cable channels , ” allege Macquarie Capital psychoanalyst Ben Schachter ina recent noteseen by Business Insider . Fox News , meanwhile , has roughly 1.5 million viewers at any given time , Business Insider note . That ’s on par with ESPN , whichrecently announced its own plan to explicate a streaming service . Both Fox News and ESPN are develop these service because cable subscription go forward to go down as streaming subscriptions rise .
However , Fox News faces a problem alone to it and other cable news channels .
The ordinary line web news show looker is , according the the Atlantic , 60 years old . As for Fox News itself ? More than half of its viewers are 68 year old or older . And while life without last is a nice estimate , these viewer are , for now , as mortal as the rest of us schlubs . This means Fox News ’ primary audience is dying off .
The idiot box equivalent of Gary Oldman in Dracula , Fox News now call for the young to survive . So a cyclosis service geared towards the conservative youths make a lot of good sense !
However , Fox News has the temerity to arrogate that the material consumers of Fox News wo n’t be Thomas Kyd still clinging to the Pepe meme , but “ superfans . ” John Finley , Fox News older frailty president , tell the New York Times that Fox Nation will be for “ the folks who observe Fox News every Nox for hours at a metre , the dedicated audience that really wants more of what we have to bid . ”
Yet if over one-half of Fox News viewer are over 68 years old , that mean the electric cord - cutters it could be woo are elderly as well — which wo n’t work out Fox News ’ problem . It ’s not the decline of cable length that Fox News needs to address . It ’s the old age of its spectator .
