Summary
178 million average unique visitors put Fox News Digital atop all news brands in Q2 2026, up 29% from a year earlier and ahead in views and minutes as well.
4.6 billion multiplatform views and 9.7 billion minutes extended Fox News’ lead to 21 straight quarters for views and 16 for minutes, according to Comscore.
CNN drew 62 million unique visitors, 1.5 billion views and 2.4 billion minutes—its weakest quarter since 2015—with traffic down 32%, views down 46% and minutes down 41% from Q2 2025.
June reinforced the gap: Fox led all news brands in visitors, views and minutes for a fourth straight month, while its mobile app averaged 6.3 million users versus CNN’s 3.1 million.
1.4 billion YouTube views and 270 million social interactions in the quarter showed Fox’s advantage extended beyond its website, though audience comparisons are affected by differing Comscore social-incremental opt-ins.
