Here are the demographics of the news shows:
http://www.people-press.org/2012/09/...ews-audiences/
Amazingly...Rush Limbaugh has a younger audience than Rachel Maddow! lol
O'Reilly's audience is older for sure.
I think part of the reason is that younger people don't really pay attention to the news. Their lives are a lot more fun at that point than when they get older. They are more interested in getting paid and getting laid.
So older people tend to watch the "boring" news more than young people overall.
Which would help to explain why O'Reilly crushes the competition.
I'm guessing if all the younger people were actually interested in what's happening in the world and all watched the news...the ratings would be different.
Hell, EVERYTHING would be different.
But unfortunately, most people don't give a shit about that when they are young.
