Fox News Media closed April as the leading news brand on YouTube within its competitive set, generating 605 million video views across its combined platforms during the month, according to new data from social measurement service Emplifi.

The main Fox News YouTube channel accounted for the bulk of that activity with 471.9 million video views in April, putting it ahead of MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), CNN, ABC News, NBC News and CBS News. MS NOW ranked second with 304.4 million views, followed by CNN with 203.3 million views.

Fox News’ YouTube performance was nearly four times that of ABC News, which drew 119.3 million views, and NBC News, which posted 115.2 million views. The network also generated more than seven times the YouTube views of CBS News, which recorded 62.6 million views for the month.
