Triton Digital has released its October rankings, and The Charlie Kirk Show remained one of the top programs for the month, in spite of the host’s assassination.
The show remained in the third position in the Top Podcasts by Weekly Average Downloads rankings for the month. It’s the same ranking the show had during the month of September. October marked the first full month following Kirk’s assassination on September 10th.
The only two programs that bested The Charlie Kirk Show during the month were NPR News Now and Up First from NPR, which also remained unchanged from the prior month.
Elsewhere in the rankings, Vince Coglianese’s program rose one position to 12th in the category, one spot behind the Global News Podcast from the BBC, which also saw an improvement of one place during October.
Kirk’s show also saw a gigantic increase in the Top Podcasts by Listeners/Viewers survey conducted by Triton Digital. The show finished the month 12th, a rise of 68 positions compared to the previous month. The Joe Rogan Experience earned the top spot in that ranking list, while The Daily was second.
The Ben Shapiro Show also saw a large rise in that category. It rose 29 positions to finish the month in the 13th place.
According to the data compiled by Triton Digital, news podcast listenership grew 7% during the third quarter.
