LOS ANGELES, December 6, 2018 – Mediaite announced today their 2018 list of the most influential figures in news media, and Premiere Networks-syndicated host Sean Hannity is ranked #1.  Hannity, who recently celebrated an affiliate milestone of 600 stations, topped a list of 75 anchors, pundits, reporters, editors, executives, late-night comedians and others.  

Mediaite highlighted Hannity’s status as a “veritable media empire in and of himself,” with a national radio show reaching 18 million monthly listeners and a FOX News program that consistently bests rivals on all three networks with a nightly audience of 3 million viewers.  Mediaite says, “…he’s emerged as the king of cable news — after playing the long game over two decades at Fox. Pair that with a direct line to the White House, and there’s simply no one more influential.”
