CNN has seen ratings plummet since former President Donald Trump left the White House, according to a Fox News report on Nielsen Media Research data.

The network averaged 2.5 million primetime viewers between the day after the election— November 4, 2020 — and Inauguration Day on January 20, 2021, Fox News reported.

Since President Joe Biden was sworn in, however, those numbers have dropped dramatically. An average of 1.6 million viewers tuned in during primetime hours between January 21 and March 15, Fox News said. That's a downturn of 36% since Biden took office.

Primetime viewers also ditched CNN in the period between December 28 through to January 20. The network hemorrhaged almost half (49%) of its primetime viewers, Fox News reported. An average of 3.1 million primetime fell to just 1.6 million, the media outlet said.

The primetime numbers are abysmal among CNN's key audience. The network's target age group is those aged 25 to 54, according to MIT Media Lab. CNN has seen a 47% drop in viewership in that demographic during Biden's inauguration and March 15, Fox News said.

During daytime hours, CNN's ratings aren't faring much better. The network saw the number of daytime viewers drop by 34% in the period between the election and Inauguration Day, according to Fox News. Among the key age demographic, CNN lost 58% of those aged 25 to 54.

Wake me when the CommieNewsNetwork’s ratings are so low, even their cameramen aren’t watching it.

Don Lemon's and Brian Stelter's moms both watch every night. Please have some compassion.

… ratings plummet…

If this were school that would be the equivalent of your grade going from and “f” to a “g”.

"we predicted (nay, SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS) that FNC would be tits up by now, so FR’s predictive powers should be viewed with suspicion."

I didn't even though Tucker may have called AZ too soon. Tucker and Laura do shows every night about the corruption and the self-serving politicians and education mess and all that is hurting our country. They are my go to pundits for the truth.

Want to put the final nail in CNN’s coffin? Cut the cable tv.

Half of their revenue is from cable subscriber fees.

fabrics. mccallum can’t be down 55% because she doesn’t have a show anymore.

and that’s just eyeballing it. I’m sure the rest of your “analysis” is equally wrong.

All of the other collapse numbers are correct. You can check my math.

your numbers aren’t worth checking because your logic is utterly forked.

first, you don’t compare a prime time show to a 3pm show; it’s stupid. you also don’t compare election week ratings to anything, and expect to get rational results. that’s also stupid. compare the same date year over year, or don’t do the comparison. and don’t compare inflated election week ratings to anything.

you’ve been posting the same ridiculous “analysis” for months, and it hasn’t gotten any less ridiculous for the repetition.

Doesn’t matter, as long as the cable and satellite subscribers numbers stay up they get a billion a year just for showing up. Ad revenue is gravy.

Everybody’s lost 50%. That’s what happens after everybody sees the climactic scene of the election movie. It may recover a bit in 18 months.

Purely my speculation. But let’s just say they will lose a goodly share of it. Exactly how much remains to be seen.
