"Anderson Cooper: 360" performed the strongest of CNN's weak primetime shows last month. The program reached 1 million viewers six times in September, averaging 916,000 viewers, a 41% decrease from his 1.55-million average in September 2020. 

By comparison, Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" averaged a whopping 3.3 million viewers and MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes" averaged 1.3 million in the 8 p.m. ET timeslot.

"Cuomo Prime Time," once CNN's most-watched show, trailed behind Anderson Cooper, reaching 1 million viewers just twice last month and averaging 874,000 viewers. Fox News' "Hannity" averaged 2.9 million during the same 9 p.m. ET timeslot, while MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" averaged 2.3 million, both never falling below 1 million. 

CNN's embattled anchor Chris Cuomo lost nearly half his viewers since last year when he averaged 1.65 million viewers.

Cuomo's handoff buddy Don Lemon also shed 47% of his viewers from last year, going from a 1.36 million-viewer average to 742,000. Lemon never reached 1 million viewers during the entire month, coming in a distant third against Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" and MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell." The latter shows averaged 2.4 and 1.5 million viewers respectively and always maintained seven-digit viewership.Video

CNN's daytime programming did not fare any better. Dayside anchor Jake Tapper never reached 1 million viewers in September. His program "The Lead" certainly did not lead in the ratings, suffering a 44% drop from his 1.3 million viewer average last year to his weak 737,000 average this year.

Where does it talk about the number or percentage of households who get their tv programming free via antenna?

I see you can't read either, or don't understand English. Chuckle.

Repeat:

Cable and satellite TV use has dropped dramatically in the U.S. since 2015

The share of Americans who say they watch television via cable or satellite has plunged from 76% in 2015 to 56% this year, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults.17 Mar 2021

Get it?

Like a growing number of other people, as the article you provided a link to says, I get my content by internet streaming services by the cable company Charter Spectrum.

Which hasn't stopped cable subscriptions from dropping a massive 20% (from 76% to 56% of households ) in just 5 years.
In fact cable subscriptions (from all sources) have been collapsing for years. Even the cable companies have long accepted that. Just keep living in far left,fantasy-land, cloud cuckooland. Chuckle m

ooops...... you are the one who doesn’t get it.

There are a reactionary very few who use variations of a Yaggi antenna to pull in the signals of local broadcast TV

I had such an antenna with my camper. When camped near Ft Worth I picked up 53 channels, most were Spanish language

Streaming is the way to go now though

American network TV is all Blacks and Queers with a few Asians thrown in for fake diversity

Certainly is very bad news for Fox News as they are a cable and satellite channel only. CBS news, ABC news and NBC news share of the viewing audience can only get bigger while Fox and other cable networks shares declines.
