"Problem is, Fox can't keep this audience forever. Its core audience is old, white and conservative, and America is becoming more multicultural and progressive. While Fox News was number one among cable news outlets in the all-important 25-to-54 year-old demographic last year, the demo only accounts for 19% of its audience.
The median age of the average primetime Fox News viewer is 68 -- five years older than MSNBC, and nine years older than CNN. Meanwhile, 92% of Fox News viewers are white, according to Nielsen. By contrast, MSNBC's audience is 67% white, while CNN's is 73% white.
Fox succeeds now because there are more Republicans than Democrats among white men of the Silent Generation (age 69-to-84). But among Hispanics, college-educated women, Latinos, blacks, Asians and millenials — in other words, the future — the Democrats have a major edge. http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/27/medi...lem/index.html
