While Fox News continues to dominate in the world of cable, CNN’s audience continues to shrink, reports TV Newser. In all of cable last week (not just cable news), Fox News was number one in primetime, averaging an incredible 2.513 million viewers. Fox News even humiliated second place MSNBC, which averaged just 1.78 million primetime viewers.
But way, way, way down in 13th place, below even the Food Network, sits far-left CNN at number 13 and an average of just 914,000 viewers — which is about a third of Fox’s numbers.
In total day viewers, Fox News is again number one with 1.465 million viewers, and again humiliated second place MSNBC with just 962,000 viewers.
The conspiracy theorists who run CNN, however, are humiliating themselves with a seventh place showing of only 633,00 total day viewers.
Despite its longtime dominance, Fox News still managed to grow its total day audience by +4 percent when compared to last year. MSNBC grew by double digits. Meanwhile, CNN lost -5 percent of its primetime viewers when compared to last year.

good point, The Democrat Socialists are attracted to the “more nutty”.
That pretty much sums it up. They don't care about ratings because ratings do not write their paychecks. It's the 'rat party, Soros, et al making up the shortfall in revenues.

Warner Media owns CNN. Warner has $30+ billion in revenue. CNN is just a way to make Dem campaign contributions. Absorbing even millions in losses wouldn’t raise an eyebrow.
CNN claimed record profits last year.
Gee, with all the tracking and posting of junk on here that’s sourced from CNN, you’d think they were one of the most influential networks ever.
If One America News could get on an even playing field versus Faux News in a year it would become a strong alternative. OAN doesn’t have scumbags like Brit Hume Juan Williams Shemp Smith and others.
CNN pays to be in the airports. That is so they can get bigger advertising dollars.
When I am traveling through an airport and waiting for my next flight rather than watching the Communist News Station I have a good book or my iPad "propped up" in my lap.
If there are only 5 million people total watching any form of news, this country is done...cat videos on youtube get 20,000,000 hits, I am not so sure Fox should be bragging about this 1.5 million viewers...I think the real story is that most Americans don’t rely on Fox or CNN or any of the other mainstream media channels for their news.
I haven’t watched cable news since I cut the cord years ago, but I wonder of that hottie Robin Meade is still on HLN mornings.
The most gorgeous woman on TV. Period.
I’ll grant the premise of your argument and further there are other perhaps lots of places with permanent CNN locked on.
My question and rebuttle is are such places actually included in the count? I thought Nielson was counted by boxes on site to record and report what was watched when
Then that begs the question.... how is tha count made these days?
“Gee, with all the tracking and posting of junk on here that’s sourced from CNN, you’d think they were one of the most influential networks ever.”
I have suggested that Jim have a fake news section. Any bs from ABCNNBCBS is posted in that section.
Then, charge a minimum of a $5 donation to even post anything from the above per poster. Each post by a repeat poster goes up $5 per post.
Example if X poster has posted 5 articles from the above he was at the $25 level for his 5th post. His next post of their liberal crud will cost him a $30 donation.
HLN used to be just reporting. I guess its gone full blown leftist SJW?
The major network news i.e. ABC,NBC,CBS all blow away cable news in numbers, unfortunately.
I wonder how they factor in viewership from the airports? Sometimes in a busy airport its hard for me to sit far enough away from a TV in order not hear their drivel.
99% of travelers don't pick their heads up from their phones to even notice TV's in an airport.
The amazing thing to me is that all those other networks - most especially the failing ones like CNN - just cede half the field to Fox since it’s the only one that isn’t hard Left. There is a lot of open green field on the Right. There are plenty who do not love Fox. They watch because they literally have nowhere else to go.
Meanwhile the other 5 claw each other’s eyes out competing for the less than half the country which is on the Left. They doggedly stick with ideology over audience share, influence or profits. That’s quite a commitment to Leftist politics! You’d think some adult would come along and say “gee....I can dramatically boost market share and profits quickly by moving over to the Right”. Nope! Those in charge would rather fail and lose money. Incredible.
Compare their newscasts with the DNC talking points for the last 2 years and you will see an evil, high level correlation.
From crushing Bernie Sanders to the hagiography of Stormy Daniels, they are not to be trusted.
CNN’s Ratings Take Another Dive
And they just gave their “Big Shot” president a huge contract extension. What a bunch of complete boneheads...but then we already knew that.
