Ratings Collapse: CNN Now Losing To Nick-At-Nite In Prime Time Ratings War
The Federalist ^ | July 6, 2017 | The Federalist Staff

Posted on 07/06/2017 5:17:31 PM PDT by Rockitz

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.

I like spongebob, he owns a house, has a job, he happily works at his job too, never complaining like lazy ass PBS watching socialist squidward.

And mr. Krabs teaches us all about the value of MONEY!

He makes a product that fills a demand and tries to keep his customers happy.

You learn more watching spongebob than CNN for sure!

Interesting that even Maureen Dowd gets it. She wrote during Zucker's NBC years:

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote that in Hollywood "there has been a single topic of discussion: How does Jeff Zucker keep rising and rising while the fortunes of NBC keep falling and falling? ...many in the Hollywood community have always regarded him as ...a network Napoleon who never bothered to learn about developing shows and managing talent." She explained that Zucker "is a master at managing up with bosses and calculating cost-per-hour benefits, but even though he made money on cable shows, he could not program the network to save his life."

Dowd also reported that an unnamed "honcho at another network" stated that "Zucker is a case study in the most destructive media executive ever to exist... You’d have to tell me who else has taken a once-great network and literally destroyed it."

We have Dish Network here. Searched for Hogan’s Heroes a couple weeks ago, and it’s apparently not available to watch on our version of Dish at all, so it’s not on Nick at Nite.

M*A*S*H and All in the Family are on and we record them, so that’s something.

On a recent trip we spent a night in a hotel in Ames, Iowa. They had a channel there called H&I, which stands for ‘Heroes and Icons’. Had never heard of it, but Hill Street Blues was on it, which is another favorite of mine that I hadn’t seen in years.

I wish we had H&I here, because I’d bet there’s a lot of good older stuff on there.

Spongebob is also always ready to go to work “IM READY IM READY” he looks forward to getting up in the morning and going to work, not sponging off of the Govt and waiting for his welfare check to arrive..Mr Krabs, he is a capitalist, LOVES money but he’s super cheap LOL. CNN would probably call Sponge bob right wing propaganda

Hey @CNN, how are those ratings doing? And to think, this was measured before you blackmailed someone. You're fake, failing, fraud news.
