It was the 16th straight quarter as No. 1 among multiplatform minutes and the 11th consecutive quarter as the top news brand with multiplatform views.

Elon Musk's Tesla dealerships around the world were met with protests during the Tesla Takedown Global Day of Action, Major League Baseball kicked off its 2025 season, Disney's live-action "Snow White" flopped at the box office, and an accidentally leaked Trump administration Signal group chat dominated much of the news cycle.
Americans flocked to Fox News Digital for information and analysis throughout March, with Fox News finishing No. 1 among competitive news brands including CNN, The New York Times, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News and USA Today in both multiplatform minutes and multiplatform views.
Fox News Digital piled up 4.5 billion multiplatform minutes to finish No. 1 for the 49th consecutive month in the critical metric.

It was the second consecutive quarter that Fox News finished atop the news competitive set, surpassing the nearest competitor, MSNBC's 945 million views, by 26%.
The digital success comes as Fox News Channel had the highest-rated quarter among weekday total viewers in cable news history during the first quarter of 2025, also topping broadcast competition in key measurables along the way.
Fox News Digital, CBS News, NBC News, The Washington Post and ABC News have opted in to account for Social Incremental in total digital multiplatform unique visitors, while brands like CNN and The New York Times have not opted in.

Ivy League bio smuggling suspect with ties to American adversary gets break from federal judge
A Russian-born scientist and Harvard University cancer researcher accused of smuggling frog embryos into the United States has been released following four months in federal custody Thursday. Kseniia Petrova, 30, was arrested in February after returning from a vacation in France, where she had obtained a package of superfine sections of frog embryos from a laboratory for research. Upon arriving at Boston Logan International Airport, Petrova was questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection regarding the materials. "I just want to thank everybody," Petrova said on the steps of the federal courthouse in Boston following her release. "A lot of people started contacting me and sending me letters, and it was a huge support without which I won't be able to survive." Following the interview, the researcher was informed her visa was being canceled. The Department of Homeland Security previously said in a statement posted on social media that Petrova was arrested for "lying to federal officers about carrying substances into the country," adding that messages on her phone "revealed she planned to smuggle the materials through customs without declaring them." The Department of Homeland Security and Harvard University did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. In an April interview with The Associated Press, Petrova said she was unaware the samples needed to be declared upon her return and insisted she was not trying to smuggle anything into the country. Petrova was initially detained by immigration officials in Vermont before being sent to a facility in Louisiana. In May, she was formally charged with smuggling in Massachusetts, with a federal judge in Vermont setting a hearing date on her petition seeking release. The federal judge in Vermont later ruled that the actions of the immigration officers were unlawful and that Petrova "posed a threat to no one." She was subsequently released from ICE custody but remained in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service due to the smuggling charge. On Thursday, Magistrate Judge Judith Dein approved an agreement between federal prosecutors and Petrova's immigration attorney, effectively releasing the researcher but limiting her ability to travel while maintaining custody of her passport. "I hear it's sunny," Dein told Petrova after her release. "Goodbye." Petrova's colleagues have previously testified on her behalf, telling the court she is conducting valuable research that aids in searching for a cure for cancer. Greg Romanovsky, the immigration attorney representing Petrova, said his client has not "decided whether she wants to stay in the United States yet." "She has offers from different countries around the world, countries that are eager to support the important research that she's doing," he said. "She's weighing her options at the moment, and she's very grateful to be out." Romanovsky did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Under the conditions of her release, Petrova must report any contact with law enforcement – including ICE – to her supervising officer within 24 hours, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. Petrova is scheduled to return to court next week for a probable cause hearing regarding the smuggling charge.

Archer Aviation stock falls after raising $850m in direct offering
-- Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:ACHR) stock fell 15% on Friday after the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft maker announced it raised $850 million through a registered direct offering of 85 million shares at $10 per share. The capital raise comes shortly after the White House announced an Executive Order by President Trump to implement an eVTOL Integration Pilot Program aimed at accelerating deployment of these aircraft in the U.S. Despite the positive policy development, investors appeared concerned about the dilutive effect of the share issuance. Archer stated that the new capital strengthens its balance sheet, giving the company a pro forma liquidity position of approximately $2 billion. The funds will be used for general corporate purposes, with emphasis on building out commercial capabilities and infrastructure to support recently announced initiatives both domestically and in its "Launch Edition" markets, as well as developing an AI-based aviation software platform. CEO and founder Adam Goldstein called the Executive Order "a seminal moment for Archer and the eVTOL industry," noting that the company now has "the resources we need to execute both here in the U.S. and abroad." Archer plans to coordinate with the White House, Department of Transportation, and Federal Aviation Administration on integrating the pilot program into its operations ahead of the LA 28 Olympic Games, where it will serve as the Official Air Taxi Provider for the Games and Team USA. Next week, the company will showcase its Midnight aircraft at the Paris Air Show, hosting delegations from more than 20 countries, including leadership from partner organizations in the UAE, Archer's first target "Launch Edition" market. Moelis (NYSE:MC) & Company LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.
