CNN Plummets, Hosts Lose Nearly Half Their Audiences

CNN’s most popular hosts have lost nearly half their audience over the last year in precipitous falls that have affected the entire network.

In February, the network came in last place among the cable news nets, trailing not only Fox News and MSNBC, but also behind HLN (formerly Headline News) and CNBC, reports The New York Times.

The first quarter of 2010 was Larry King’s worst quarter ever, with his audience down 43%, to 771,000 viewers, for the quarter and down 52% for the month of March. In the same quarter in 2009, Larry King’s show had 1.34 million viewers. King’s audience is just a quarter of the size of Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, is regularly beaten by Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, and is now fighting a sometimes-losing battle against a new competitor, Joy Behar on HLN.

Campbell Brown, too, dipped significantly, seeing its worst quarter ever in the advertiser-friendly 25-54 demo.

Imagine what CNN’s ratings would be if people didn’t use it to fall asleep by?

Of course, C-SPAN is probably the king of sleep-inducers but I’ll bet a lot of them have no idea what channel C-SPAN is on so they slumber to King and Cooper.

On TV, he comes across as less effective
I dunno, chalkboards, pictures and videos are pretty effective and it's his TV show, not the radio show that pisses off the Obama zombies...What were you saying about being effective?

To me, my lady. I can’t say what effect he has on others. I think you have a point about having a constructive effect on lefties, which is fine, they need it.

“Problem is, the more the msm loses, the farther left goes fox to pick up their viewers.”

Ain’t that the truth!

I don't really think it is that bad. They didn't really lose her, she's just been out of town for a few weeks visiting her aunt Madge. She's coming back after Madge's bunions heal.
