In commenting on the performance, FOX News Digital Editor In
Chief Porter Berry said, “Having surpassed 100 million
multi-platform uniques for the second month in a row and now
beating CNN.com again in multi-platform views, we are confident
that our strategy is paying off. Not only is our user engaging with
our brand across multiple devices for extended periods of time, but
our creative content is compelling them to make the initial click
and we couldn’t be more excited to continue this growth throughout
2019.”
February also marks the third month that the FOX News Mobile app
surpassed the CNN Mobile app in uniques, securing 7.5 million
