CNN’s average primetime viewership took a nose dive to only 444,000 viewers during the week of January 16, according to reports.
And no, it wasn’t a slow news week. Between the classified documents scandal, Ukraine, and the roil over House committee seats, CNN had plenty to report on, or should we say ‘spin.’
Meanwhile, Fox News raked in an average of 1.996 million primetime viewers during that week, five times more than CNN.
MSNBC faired better than CNN, attracting nearly a million with 943,000 average primetime viewers.
CNN barely cracked 400,000 with just 417,000 in total day viewers.
Fox News more than tripled that with 1.387 million.
MSNBC did better, but still only averaged 629,000 total viewers throughout the day.
In the 25-54 age demographic that sets advertiser rates, Fox News averaged 256,000 demo viewers, MSNBC averaged just 91,000, and CNN did just 93,000.
Fox News averaged 176,000 demo viewers throughout the day and came in a distant second with 80,000, and MSNBC came in last with 69,000.
For cable news, which set a baseline for success for 100,000 demo viewers, CNN and MSNBC are failing miserably.
In all of cable, Fox News came in second behind ESPN in total primetime viewers, MSNBC third, and CNN eighteenth.
Newly-installed Chris Licht was supposed to turn CNN back into a network viewers wanted to watch, but it doesn’t look like it’s working.
In other words, CNN sucks.
Maybe it’s because they refused to replace the dishonest anchors responsible for the network’s demise?

As previously reported, Lemon was demoted from his primetime show to save CNN’s failed morning show. With Lemon on board, New Day became CNN This Morning, and that became a catastrophe that averaged only 331,000 viewers.
During that time, Fox News attracted 1.3 million and 180,000 demo viewers.
Don Lemon sunk to only 65,000 demo viewers.
CNN has been a national joke for quite a while, but now it’s official.
