What percentage of Fox's audience is liberals ?
I think it is a fair percentage. Not sure that numbers exist but I'll bet at least 20% of their audience is people who watch Beck, et al to get their daily outrage fix. It could be higher than that. If they have only 800,000 viewers, it could easily be higher.

1. I think it's higher because VA hospitals and such keep the network on 24/7. n/t

2. Per Variety (a media trade publication) FNC audience is
the oldest in ad supported TV -- median age 65+.

they cite another source for these bits:

According to a study released by Magna Global’s Steve Sternberg, the five broadcast nets’ average live median age (in other words, not including delayed DVR viewing) was 50 last season. That’s the oldest ever since Sternberg started analyzing median age more than a decade ago — and the first time the nets’ median age was outside of the vaunted 18-49 demo…

Among ad-supported cable nets, the news nets (along with older-skewing Hallmark Channel, Golf Channel and GSN’s daytime sked) sport the most gray, with Fox News Channel’s daytime and primetime skeds the absolute oldest, clocking in with a median age above 65. (Emphasis added.)

Also in there, the average age for a viewer of Countdown was 59.

3. 15.5% exactly lol...
10% those who are progressive but are not yet conscious of it
2.5% those who are morbidly curious and/or masochistic
2% those with right-wing spouses who don't dare change the channel
1% those who are immobile and can't change the channel
