NN Posts Triple Digit Growth in Prime Time; Most in TV

Narrows Gap with Fox News in Total Day to Smallest in Over Seven Years

CNN also #1 on Weekends

CNN ranked #1 in cable news in prime time in April. CNN beat Fox News for the fifth time in the last eight months in M-Su prime time (four of the past eight in M-F prime) among adults 25-54. The last time CNN had this many prime time wins in an eight-month period versus Fox News was over 14 years ago (Nov. 2001). CNN also handily topped MSNBC this month in all dayparts, with CNN besting MSNBC for the 22nd straight month in Total Day (among both total viewers and among adults 25-54) and in prime time (among 25-54). In total viewers, CNN has now beaten MSNBC for the fifth straight month (or seven out of eight months) in prime time. CNN continued to top MSNBC by wide margins during the day (9am-4pm) – posting a +36% advantage in total viewers (630k vs. MSNBC’s 464k) and +58% more among adults 25-54 (161k vs. 102k).

In April, CNN had the most growth of any television network (cable or broadcast) among both total viewers and adults 25-54, increasing triple digits in prime time. Among ALL cable networks in April, CNN ranked #7 in total viewers in M-F prime time. In Total Day, CNN was also up vs. last year, increasing +59% in total viewers and +48% among adults 25-54.

Of particular note, CNN has narrowed the gap with Fox News (196k vs. Fox News’ 215k) to its smallest level (-9%) in over seven years (since October, 2008) in Today Day among adults 25-54. CNN beat Fox News in prime time this month among adults 25-54.

I actually enjoy Chuck Todd and a few others they are more fair to Trump than Fox. I only will watch Hannity on Fox and Redeye. Morning Joe is very fair to Trump

I do watch FoxBusiness alot and like Kennedy and Lou Dobbs.

Looking at the actual viewership numbers, it looks like all the news channels are getting an election year bump, and likely many undecideds who don’t follow things that closely are tuning into CNN, their logical first choice.

And the debates, fed by hunger to hear debate about all the controversial issues that the media are trying to reduce to propaganda, have probably multiplied the election year effect, too, as the undecideds get more engaged with issues.

But Trump I’m not so pleased with anymore. Not only has he thrown in the towel on religious freedom, it doesn’t even seem like he truly knows what the religious freedom position is and means.

The only one’s I watch on the FOX “family” are:

Jeanine Pirro
Lou Dobbs
Sean Hannity
John Stossel
Bill O’Reilly
Greta Van Susteren
Jesse Watters
Maria Bartiromo
Tammy Bruce
Neil Cavuto
Mark Fuhrman
Newt Gingrich

The rest, I just don’t bother to watch anymore, I hate Megyn Kelly the Trump hating whore and that b**** daughter of McCain, used to like Gutfeld but now he’s so phony he makes me sick and he is another Trump hater.

Basically FOX sucks now.

Me too. I've quit on Rush too.

I'm glad to see CNN beating Fox. Well deserved. Kudos to Trump.

I’m in that rating, which I never imagined would happen, but FNC is dead to me. Cnn is now the enemy of my enemy.

All I ever see on HLN are “Forensic Files” re-runs-—which I love,by the way.

I didn’t know it was considered a news channel.

So now we know why Metoo Kelly went to beg Trumps forgiveness.

Faux is getting spanked by their viewers for their actions.

Fox News election coverage has been awful, except perhaps Martha Macallum.

Their election calls are WAY behind others. While watching FoxNews Tuesday night, I got elections calls first here minutes before Fox News.

John King is awesome. I can’t believe he was married to that always scorning blonde lady.

I miss Hannity. But that is it from Fox.

Some of those heads on CNN are commie but openly so, and I’m ok with that.

Rush is next. I’ve turned him off after watching since 1989.

Cnn treats Hillary as though she was a valid candidate for President. Like everyone but us.

OR is still number 1. A good platform for Trump. I think OR likes Trump and he thinks he’s helping him by criticizing him and even making suggestions. Trump is a now a frequent guest and will be through Nov and Shillary will not go on the show. Her loss.
