CNN provides and installs the airport monitors, then pays the airport to pipe only CNN into the terminals. CNN is buying rating points.

Small win story: A few months back I received a survey from the VA about a recent visit and it had a section at the end for comments. I bitched about the waiting room in the pharmacy always turned to CNN or MSNBC. DAMMIT, we’re VETERANS I wrote!! We shouldn’t have to be subjected to this anti-Americanism in a VA facility. The next time I went in, it was tuned to another channel.

CNN doesn’t care about ratings, it makes half it’s income from carriage fees that everyone who has cable or satellite TV pays whether they watch or not.

Who does the measurement, and how do they measure audience for cable news networks? How do they calculate the audience for airport monitors?

Wow, 46.7% of viewers have their politics informed by watching kooks.

That’s not good.

Cable News Ratings are collected and reported by the Nielsen organization.

From a discussion of the limitations of Nielsen ratings:

A related criticism of the Nielsen ratings system is its lack of a system for measuring television audiences in environments outside the home, such as college dormitories, transport terminals, bars, jails and other public places where television is frequently viewed, often by large numbers of people in a common setting.

Airport monitors are not counted in the Neilsen ratings. The internet, where not everything that you read is so.
