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 quit rush months ago...and never did listen to Levin...there was a thread on here earlier that said it looks like Beck is going down, thank goodness...
It figures. Thanks.
You’re right on. It’s pretty obvious that BOR is trying to help Trump.
I can barely tolerate Fox News now. It’s mostly insubstantial pap with a few headlines thrown in now and then. Almost no serious, in-depth reporting of issues.
Add me in there, can’t stand the pompous pr*** these days.
If you get good info, ping me, please :)
IMHO, he will soon retire..
I have a pretty high level friend in the radio biz whom shall remain nameless. I’m trying for some higher-frequency and inside-baseball numbers than late Feb for Levin.
This is a very odd phenomenon, not just for me but apparently for plenty of others. From “every day” to “have to turn him off and right now”.
More to follow.
+1.
Trump Effect.
“I can barely tolerate Fox News now. It’s mostly insubstantial pap with a few headlines thrown in now and then. Almost no serious, in-depth reporting of issues.”
And essentially no correspondents in the field except for their local affiliate stringers.
FNC essentially just retweets other people’s news.
“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.”
Yep. BOR is CLEARLY in Trump’s court, and all of what you say is absolutely correct. I’d also add that BOR also pretends to ask Trump hard questions but in a way designed to allow Trump to clarify statements or rebut critics.
“Fox News election coverage has been awful”
And their analysis ranges from shallow to pathetic to nonexistent.
I really like the CNN election coverage setup with the “neutral” analysts on the left desk, the declared partisan cheerleaders on the right desk, and Anderson Cooper moderating. David Axelrod (of all people) is a VERY astute analyst.
We pretty much now watch CNN election coverage exclusively.
“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.”
Complete nonsense.
Until FNC cans Megyn, Gutfeld, Perino, Geraldo, Rove, and Shemp I won’t be watching.
good point. I would point out because Trump is outspoken he can allow someone like OR to disagree or challenge and he has the confidence to counter.
Great job, megyn.

If you would, please ask your friend who is funding Levin's Conservative Review and LevinTV. I think that would explain a lot about Mark's latest behaviors.
Thank you and lots of smoochies :)
Exactly my first thought at seeing the headline.
