Only seven ads run on Thursday's 'O'Reilly Factor'

By Joe Concha - 04/07/17


Just seven advertisements ran on Thursday’s "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News after nearly 60 companies this week reportedly dropped their sponsorships of the highly rated prime-time program.
The hourlong series can run as many as 40 commercials during a typical night.
The increasing ad pulls follow a Saturday New York Times report that host Bill O'Reilly paid $13 million to five women to settle sexual harassment allegations.
O'Reilly's ratings have not suffered as a result of the controversy as the 67-year-old host has outpaced his closest competition, "The Rachel Maddow Show," by more than a million viewers on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, according to Nielsen Research.
