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.

Give up cable and broadcast TV entirely. Its a dinosaur struggling to survive and thus its ideology will become even more concentrated.
There is such a wide range of choice on the Internet and elsewhere - streaming TV, podcasts, blogs, websites. Available anytime, 24/7, archived from whatever source you want.
That's stunning. Even the liberals I know don't watch CNN...
I remember hearing about their contract with the airports expiring as well. So the artificial ratings from that can’t be helping either. LOL
What happened to Fox’s news decline? Did it stop, or are people back watching the network of propagandists for the Democrats like Chris Wallace and Neil Cavuto?
Fox News ratings dropped 50% after the Steal and now CNN’s ratings crash just caught up to Fox’s earlier ratings drop.
Both are down 50%. And Fox ratings aren’t going down any more recently but they’re not going up either.
Fox pushes the same old RINOS every day. Bushies too. Sick of Gramnesty. BRING BACK DOBBS!!!
Ah justice.
You’d think the only places that exist are DC,NY,LA and SF. It is “inside baseball” and what NYC pundits find interesting is out of touch with “realville”.
If their viewership continues dropping at the current pace they will be begging Trump to run in 2024.
Didn’t think they had that many to lose.
They need a new source of hate.
I nominate mutt romney.
well,they are propagandists..so they probably made it up.
CNN and the Dems could care less. It served its purpose.
I think you mean "couldn't care less."
They are already at the lowest level of caring--can't go below that.
If they "could" care less, they care somewhat and could still care at a lower level.
“CNN gets over a billion a year just from carriage fees before they sell ad #1.”
Those carriage fees will drop if the decline in CNN viewership is permanent.
Their employees are full of hate against the USA and they have at least 1 racist on camera named Don Lemon ranted about white people.
CNN & her sister Democrat Media TV News Stations are losing viewers with every passing day at an alarming rate!!! Rupert Murdoch at Fox News Channel & Fox Business Network can rule the News & Political TV World by making a few simple “smart’ moves...today.
Fire both Neil Cavuto and Chris Wallace. today. Neither of these two have decent TV viewer ratings...in fact their ratings are poor to nearly non-existent!!! Replace Cavuto with Lou Dobbs, whom FBN should rehire immediately & Replace loser, Wallace with the star of Fox News, Maria Bartiromo!!!
Murdoch get rid of your useless liberal sons and traitor, Paul Ryan ...today. and you will soon own the TV news world around the entire globe!!! Do it!!!
Viewers realize they took Cnn’s bait about Trump and ended up with Biden.
CNN doesn’t care. CNN only cares that it helped steal the election from Trump. That’s all that matters.
We ought to start a go fund me site to collect $$$$$ so they don’t go bankrupt...Bwhahahahahahahaah....got you!
