Fox News has seen its primetime ratings decline year-over-year in May since Tucker Carlson’s sudden departure about six weeks ago, according to an analysis.

Nielsen ratings show that the network has seen a 37-percent year-over-year decline to 1.42 million during the primetime hours of 8 p.m. and 11 p.m., according to reports from Mediaite and Deadline Hollywood. Left-wing competitor MSNBC saw its ratings increase to 1.16 million primetime viewers, or a 14-percent gain year-over-year, in May.
