CNN is losing around a million viewers on average each night since President Donald Trump left office - and is down nearly 50% in the key 24-54 age group, a report said on Thursday.
The cable news channel had averaged 2.5 million prime-time viewers each night from November 4 through Inauguration Day on January 20, according to a Fox News analysis of Nielsen data.
But data shows the network averaged only 1.6 million total prime-time viewers from January 21, the day after the inauguration of President Joe Biden, through March 15, according to the report.
CNN's overall prime-time viewership, from 8pm to 11pm Eastern Time, has dropped 36% since Biden took office in January, according to Fox News.
Meanwhile, since January 21 CNN's prime-time viewership of adults between the ages of 24 and 54 dropped a whopping 47% since Election Day.
The network also suffered a major hit to its daytime viewership.
CNN averaged 1.7 million total daytime viewers from November 4 through January 20 and has since suffered a 34% decline, Fox News reported. CNN has averaged 1.1 million daytime viewers since Biden took office.
Daytime viewership among the 24-54 age group dropped 44% from an average of 483,000 to only 272,000, according to the outlet.

It’s boring now. More so than it used to be :)
The primary reason CNN is there to promote the cause. Making money is a distant second.
That’s because this age group believes everything is good now and no reason to watch the propaganda stream.... Don’t believe they’re tuning out for any other reason, they haven’t “woke” up.
Rot, die, and every single employee tossed onto the street.
Funded by the DNC. They don’t care.
Nowadays they are obsessed with never ending Marvel and a Star Wars movies. Yeah, it’s trading one for another, but it’s funny how it all works.
Less people flying means less viewers for CNN.
People don’t want to hear the wit and wisdom of Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo? I’m shocked just shocked...........
They are still prosecuting Trump. Not going well apparently.
The ‘woke’ tools felt like they were making history as long as the biased MSM was glamorizing their infantile tantrums!!
Now- (maybe) they’ll go back to just destroying themselves and their OWN families with drugs, crime and indolence
He’s not the president anymore, can’t these people get more current?
Ditto.
I truly think that having to watch CNN in an airport was like having to watch the Big Brother broadcasts in 1984. Right now, forced viewership has its limits, but the Biden folks may bring it back again.
All news media viewership is down 50% post-election.
One side no longer has boogey man Trump to bash, and the other side no longer has anyone worth listening to.
CNN provides a quite direct view of the daily talking points. Very transparent. You can get the jist in 15 minutes.
Other outlets can be subtle, but not CNN. In your face.
They couldn’t think that going all in on trump hatred was a loser?
What? CNN actually had 1M viewers to lose?
How many have dropped cable or satellite? CNN gets over a billion a year just from carriage fees before they sell ad #1.
Nobody cares to understand the economics.
