Fox News Digital has released its April 2026 metrics. It saw strong results in a variety of aspects.
What We Know: Fox News Digital finished April 2026 at the top of the Comscore rankings across total digital multiplatform unique visitors, multiplatform views, and multiplatform minutes — leading all broadcast networks and news competitors. Fox News Media also extended its social media interaction streak to 140 consecutive months at the top of all news brands, per Emplifi and Comscore Social.
What the Numbers Show:
| Metric | April 2026 Total |
|---|---|
| Total Digital Multiplatform Unique Visitors | 191 million (up 46% YoY) |
| Total Multiplatform Views | 1.7 billion |
| Total Multiplatform Minutes | 3.6 billion |
On YouTube, Fox News drew 471.9 million video views — a 45% year-over-year advantage over the field. The Fox News Mobile app also drew 6.3 million unique viewers.
FOXBusiness.com finished third in the business competitive set with 185.3 million multiplatform minutes, 87.9 million multiplatform views, and 20.2 million total digital multiplatform unique visitors.
What Remains Unclear: The April data doesn’t specify which content or coverage areas drove the most traffic. It’s also not clear how much of the unique visitor growth ties to specific news cycles versus ongoing platform investment.
What It Means: Fox News has invested heavily in being everywhere news consumers are. While the network’s cable news ratings remain strong, its digital metrics are just as impressive. The unique visitors on its mobile app are especially impressive.
