Think that Fox News and CNN viewers are completely different groups? Think again.

Data from Tubular Labs shows that over the last six months, Fox News' YouTube audience has 42% overlap with CNN's entire social video audience; meaning that 42% of Fox News viewers are watching CNN on at least one platform.

  • Tubular data shows that over the last six months, it's actually Forbes Breaking News with the highest overlap at 51%, but CNN's 42% is No. 2, followed closely by Sky News Australia and LiveNow From Fox at 40% apiece.
  • Fellow U.S. news competitors like ABC News (38%), NBC News (37%), MSNBC (29%) and ABC News (28%) all have significant Fox News overlap as well.
  • Joe Rogan has 29% overlap with Fox News YouTube viewers, which underlines how Vice President Kamala Harris could have at least gotten more exposure to Trump voters by appearing on the show.
  • The higher-than-expected overlap also comes at a time when Fox News and other right-wing outlets are touting their media successes and ability to bring advertisers back into the fold in recent months.
