US station FOX News is pulling in higher ratings than the ITV News Channel, according to figures in Broadcast this week.
Between October 24 and November 9, FOX averaged a 0.14% share of viewing in satellite homes, versus 0.12% for ITV News.
Amongst all multichannel homes, FOX was ahead on October 24, November 3 and November 8, despite only being available on satellite. ITV News also has carriage on Freeview and cable but had its DTT hours slashed in half on November 1 to make way for new male-skewed channel ITV4.
Ben Rayner, editor of the ITV News channel, dismissed the figures as "statistical quirks" brought about by a quieter-than-normal period of domestic news.
