There isn’t a strong path for FNC to return to their former standings and “hope is not a strategy”. Viewers. of other mainstream media outlets (like CNN, MSNBC) will NEVER accept or watch FoxNews. So FNC will never attract them. FoxNews has (and continues to) disrespect their conservative base and at least a good portion of those will never return as viewers when less-biased alternative news sources, like OAN and Newmax, are on the rise.
