April Ratings: Fox News Lands Top 12 Shows, CNN Ratings Drop As Ukraine Interest Wanes

**SNIP**

April also saw the full-time return of Rachel Maddow to MSNBC prime time, which helped to boost the network’s average prime time viewership. Maddow returned after a weeks-long hiatus and announced that beginning in May she will scale down to hosting her show only once a week, on Mondays.

While Maddow was able to bring back her audience and lift her show to over 2 million nightly viewers, her colleague Joy Reid struggled in April to retain her audience.

April came in as Reid’s lowest-rated month in the show’s history. The ReidOut brought in an average of 1.1 million total viewers, which marked a 31% decline from last April. Reid is down a total 51% compared to her show’s debut in July of 2020.

Across prime time, MSNBC averaged 1.12 million total viewers in April, behind Fox News’ 2.36 million average viewers. Both networks saw a slight dip from the previous month, which saw MSNBC average 1.28 million viewers and Fox News average 2.86 million total viewers.

CNN saw the most dramatic decline from last month, driven largely by the boost the network received from breaking news coverage out of Ukraine. In March, CNN averaged 1.22 million total viewers across prime time, which was down to 694,000 total average viewers in April. In the demo, CNN also saw a significant drop from 366,000 to 168,000 between March and April.

Fox News dropped from 529,000 demo viewers in March to 364,000 in April, while MSNBC dropped from 183,000 to 124,000 – respectively.

Fox News’ line-up continued to dominate the ratings with The Five landing, yet again, as the most-watched show on cable news in total viewers and Tucker Carlson tonight winning in the demo.

Brandon won't be able to get the message out this way. More mailers? Since that may arrive a month late, RATS better pick up the pace.

CNN talks about Ukraine? I haven’t seen CNN in a long time, since I don’t have cable, but I thought their format was still “Anti-Trump, all the time.”

Unfortunately, your question should not have the /sarc tag.

If the state legislatures of PA, GA, AZ, WI, and MI are still controlled by RINOs in 2024, then they will not allow a MAGA candidate to win, and we'll see cheat-by-mail-in ballots allowed again, along with drop boxes, and counting in several states simultaneously stopped so they can produce enough fake ballots needed, and then counting will resume for how ever long it takes to get Biden ahead.

The only way to prevent a 2024 election theft is to vote out every RINO who must face a primary this summer. If these state legislatures had MAGA people instead of RINOs, the democrats could not have stolen anything in 2020.

I’m so happy it’s back - I can’t get enough of that unattractive little man.

Ukraine is not going along with the narrative, so lefties have dropped it.
