4. a list of those businesses

would be helpful ...

[StarryNite]

10. Yes! We need a list.

And then we need to start emailing those companies to let them know we will not support them if they continue to advertise on Fox.

[CaptYossarian]

11. Is anything like that posted?

Or does somebody have to take one for the team and monitor their lying drivel?

I like fiction as much as anyone, but I need to keep my lunch in.

34. Expedia, easy to drop. USAA, not so much

Have loans with them, can't move right now. But, I did call to complain. They said they stay out of politics and advertise equally. I think they basically ignore the calls they get.

24. Here is a list and also a thread about other ways to take them down

I'm posting some of the thread.

1/ I want to share a bit about Fox News, advertisers, revenue and accountability.

Let me first start by saying that, Fox News is actually suffering quite severely on the advertiser front. (The next chart will illustrate just how badly)...
2/ This is the number of paid ads on Tucker's show. As you can see this chart shows the average number of *paid* commercials per show. It dropped off quite severely in 2019. It *still* hasn't recovered.

So what's this mean in terms of dollars?

3/ Well: In 2017, Tucker's show generated about $100M in advertising revenue for Fox News. If you took all of the ad revenue that Tucker's show generated in 2018 and 2019, the combined amount is less than what Tucker's show earned in 2017 alone. It's easily a 75-80M loss.
4/ And, Tucker's show is *not* only Fox News show that experienced big dips in number of paid commercials and revenue. Fox News lost...a ton of advertising revenue.

That problem got even worse when they failed to meet their sales projections at their upfront event last year.
5/ So, how is that Fox News could lose all of that advertising revenue and still not be forced to make major changes.

Well, surprise surprise, Fox News cheats. And we all basically subsidize Fox News as a result of that cheating.
6/ Fox News could have $0 in advertising revenue and still have a 90% profit margin. That should be surprising given that they are a commercial media outlet. But this is in large part why Fox seems impervious to some ad pressure. They have a big cushion.
7/ Every TV channel charges cable providers a fee for carrying channel set during negotiations. This is a subscriber fee. Provider pays this fee for each customer they have, not viewer of channel. Providers bundle channels into packages and pass costs to subscribers.
8/ Fox News is notoriously recognized as the most aggressive negotiator. And it's not just that they are good at it. They lie and cheat. They tell Fox News viewers that their cable company is trying to silence Fox News, they enlist their hosts to spread that misinformation too.
9/ The effect? News & info channels’ subscriber fees are normally small. MSNBC gets ~$0.33, CNN gets between $0.70-0.90 per month (and includes CNN and CNN Headline News). In contrast, Fox News charges near or over $2 a month. This is wildly out of step with industry averages.
10/ Fox News' fees are artificially inflated. Fox would not be able to sustain itself in its current incarnation w/out bullying cable providers into overpaying. It's time the 90M cable customers pushback way Fox has pushed all these years. We need a Fox News fee correction.

27. Just another reason we don't subscribe to cable or satellite television.

More than a decade ago my wife and I quit broadcast television as well.

Comcast can rot in hell along with Fox News. (Rachel Maddow, you should quit that scene...)

We have inexpensive DSL internet, a basic $8.99 a month Netflix subscription, and lots of DVDs. So far we haven't run out of stuff to watch.

5. I can't understand why our side can't organize a national Fox News advertiser boycott..

It really needs to be done. I’m going to look for a list and do my best to follow it.

7. I have the mini Dawn dish soap bottle on my truck.

I’ll have to go over the subsidiary’s products, but this is definitely doable!

[Stuart G]

8. Thank You for publishing this list..Outstanding post K and R your post

[kag]

12. Thanks for posting this list.

People should be very vocal about boycotting, too. A lot of these brands will take it in the shorts just because of the situation (Dine Brands Global), but others should be very LOUDLY boycotted.

Don't just stop buying their stuff. Call them and tell them that you will NEVER buy their stuff.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

15. Your welcome

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

16. Your welcome

[CaptYossarian]

13. Some of them advertise on EVERY channel.

They're capitalists, ya know. But I'd bet they can drop one network if enough boycott letters appear.

A Trump-humper like My Pillow and his 70s porn moustache won't budge. Neither will his "Andrews Sisters on helium" jingle singers.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

14. I can't stand that guy...

Never could looks sleazy.

18. He's not your typical Minnesotan.

Minnesotans are a lot like Wisconsinites, but with thicker wallets and better health coverage.

[Oppaloopa]

31. That jingle is sooo familar what commercial was it stolen from? It was popular in the fifties.

[CaptYossarian]

35. Mr. Sandman?

[Oppaloopa]

36. No probably a soap commercial. It was stolen from another product.

21. Interesting how many insurance companies are on that list. Including mine (USAA).

I'll send them a note to pull their sponsorship. I don't mind going somewhere else.

29. Did the same with geico

[relayerbob]

23. Thank you

In my case, I avoid nearly all of those already, the only possible exceptions may be some of the pharmas, which are can be harder to escape from.

[klook]

30. Thanks. Very disappointed to see Expedia, which I've used.

There are plenty of alternatives, and I’ll write and let them know why they’ll no longer be getting my business until they abandon Fox.

[Oppaloopa]

32. Yes Nutri System and South Beach should be very interested.
