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.

Enjoy the suck a*holes.
I was wondering when ATT was going to dump CNN. I will be interested in what Bezos will do with it if he is the buyer.
They will lose the other 50% when the airports switch over in the next couple of months.
and FNC ratings have largely recovered.
I tried to tell you, but you were all too busy screaming nonsense to hear reason.
*Sigh* this is why nothing is going to change.
Bezos will lay off 50% of the CNN employees like he did to the Washington Post when he bought it. He’ll also cut their retirement contributions and cancel all raises. Then he will fold it into the Washington Post.
Fox News ratings have not recovered.
They just lost 50% of their audience earlier than CNN did.
CNN and MSNBC are just playing catch up with their ratings collapses.
I can show you a Fox ratings post-Steal collapse update if you want to see it.

I’ll put together Fox ratings post-Steal collapse update and post it to the thread.
“nothing is going to change” because people prefer fnc to the other (more) crappy cable news networks?
the world isn’t going to end irrespective of what is on people’s TVs.
I said “largely”. put it back in the pants.
At least there’s a future for them in coding and solar panel manufacturing
I had no idea CNN was still broadcasting. Do you mean to tell me somebody actually watches that thing?
Is that a fact or your speculation?
This was long well predicted......
Because Trump is no longer president so there’s no longer a need for fake news.
If you liked Gremlins, you'll love CNN.
Wake me when the CommieNewsNetwork’s ratings are so low, even their cameramen aren’t watching it.
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.
