"Online, Fox News is [the] No. 1 publisher for time spent, averaging 143 million monthly unique visitors," he added. "So, to put it simply, more people spend time getting their news on FoxNews.com than anywhere else."

Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum noted a record year on YouTube with 4.5 billion video views.
