Ratings Collapse: CNN Now Losing To Nick-At-Nite In Prime Time Ratings War

Last week, more Americans tuned in to watch re-runs of “Yogi Bear,” “Full House,” and “Friends” on Nick At Nite than to watch Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon’s shows on CNN.

According to cable ratings from the week of June 26-July 2, CNN’s viewership of its primetime shows was ranked significantly lower than its competitors like Fox News and MSNBC, which place first and second respectively. Clocking in at No. 10 on the list, CNN fell behind HGTV, Nick At Nite, History Channel, and ESPN — the sports network that’s been hemorrhaging viewers for months.

CNN’s ratings nosedive corresponds with the network’s ongoing feud with President Donald Trump. Last week, Trump tweeted out a GIF of himself appearing to pummel a wrestler with CNN’s logo superimposed over the latter’s face. The network has covered the tweet nearly nonstop ever since. It also went after the Redditor who made the GIF and threatened to dox him unless he apologized and promised to never say anything CNN dislikes again — a move that drew much criticism and may have been illegal.

On July 4, CNN published a fake quote from Abraham Lincoln. On Thursday morning, the network falsely claimed German Prime Minister Angela Merkel had chosen the location of the G20 summit to sabotage Trump.

Indeed...though Perry Mason appears to have survived every change in the lineup over the years.

Spongebob is more REALISTIC than anything on CNN... :-)

Why is CNN shown in all the airports? Do they have some kind of government contract? Why don’t they have Fox News Channel or OAN on instead?

[reformedliberal]

Airports are privately owned, IIRC, Yes, they have contracts, probably based on how many monitors.

My guess is they would have to have massive demand to get rid of them, but that may not be difficult right now.

Hey Thirteen

(2017 Deplorable Records)

Way back when, in Sixty Seven.
Jane'd be the dandy
Of Hanoi High
Sweet things to Saigon
So young and willing
Worked in the Delta
That's where the hell they died.

Hey Thirteen
No you won't dance together
No you won't talk at all
Please take Hill'along
When you shut on down

Hey Thirteen
Where's Kathy Griffin?
We won't be watchin' her New Year show.
Good times befallen
The Poll Survivors
She thinks He's crazy
But He's still growin' old

Hey Thirteen
No you got nothin' in common
No you won't talk at all
Please take Hill'along
When you shut on down

The Mira lagan
The fine American
Made that night [November 8, 2016] a wonderful thing

You won't dance together
No you won't talk at all

Not watching their channel’s easy enough. I don’t have a TV. But you can catch the especially stupid stunts they pull on You Tube without elevating their ratings a drop.

[Eleutheria5]

I’d rather see the picture, though.

[FreedBird]

Watching CNN is a total waste of time!

“...without elevating their ratings a drop.”

Works for me

Check out http://handitvnetwork.com and http://www.metv.com.

These are the website addresses for Heroes and Icons (H&I) and Memorable Entertainment (MeTV) networks. Programming is a fantastic selection of past hit series. And being digital broadcasts, the video and audio quality is phenomenal!

These channels are normally delivered as sub channels of local Over the Air (OTA) broadcasts. You need a local antenna to receive them. Sometimes they are included in cable packages as part of your local channels.

I highly recommend these channels. If I could only receive two channels of programming from all sources, I would choose these two. Virtually everything they transmit is worth watching.

Yes, these channels have commercials. But the commercial breaks are much shorter than we now experience as they match the original programming. And yes, MeTV airs 1 hour of Hogan's Heroes every weekday.

If you can receive these channels, you'll love them!

The scary thing about this is look at msnbc at #2. They are as fake as cnn.

So what’s overhead at Nick At Nite, a couple contract attorneys and a few techs?
CNN has hundreds of high-priced employees and can’t even keep up with a re-run station that could be run out of a basement. Pathetic.
