Ace of Spades calls attention to the latest cable-news ratings, as reported by @RoadMN on Twitter, and it really is astonishing how bad CNN ratings are. It’s not just the fact that Fox News is stomping the crap out of CNN in prime time where, for example, Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. ET audience (3.14 million viewers) is three times larger than Anderson Cooper’s (1.03 million). CNN’s ratings are so low that no show on the network rates higher than 28th in all cable news programming.
You see that the highest-rated hour on CNN (Chris Cuomo at 9 p.m. ET) has an audience of 1.11 million, which is not only dwarfed by Sean Hannity’s audience (3.3 million), but is also smaller than, for example, the 7 a.m. hour of Fox & Friends (1.47 million). The audience for CNN’s morning programming is microscopic — New Day, hosted by Alisyn Camerota and John Berman, gets barely half a million viewers. How can words convey just how pathetic CNN’s numbers are? You’re talking about a national network, with anchors earning millions annually, supported by a vast staff of reporters, producers, editors and technicians. And at 8 a.m. ET, Camerota and Berman are viewed by an audience of 567,000. By comparison, Olivia Jade Giannulli, the vapid airhead whose mother cheated to get her into college, has 1.9 million YouTube subscribers. That’s right — this idiot teenager can post a makeup tutorial that gets more than twice the viewers of CNN’s New Day. CNN has no viable commercial purpose. There are many YouTube channels with larger audiences — PewDiePie routinely gets 4 million views. If a Swedish comedian on YouTube is four times more popular than your cable-news network, the word for this is failure.
Imagine how low the ratings would be if they didn’t pay the airports to run their programing to captive audiences...
CNN is good sometimes, but their constant “Trump”, “Tump” is getting stale.
Fox and Friends is spread out over 3 hours. Just about everybody beats Shep
With mandatory fees paid by cable providers CNN doesn’t need an audience.
Who are the 1.1 million people that watch cuomo?
Moanin’ Joe at 26. Surprise Surprise. Apparently non stop RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA doesn’t sell.
CNN has a stench that
I can smell a Hundred Yards off.
Maybe it’s Genetic,
I’m seeking counseling.
They’re getting burned by the Earth’s Core ?
So, at best, they’re getting what... 1% of the pop as viewers?
It doesn’t really matter. CNN makes their money not from advertising but from the airports and more importantly from their cut of paid cable. So CNN believes they can stink as much as they like and it doesn’t matter to their bottom line.
You took the meme right out of my heme! I mean hand. I mean mouth.
CNN is going to have a cash flow problem after the Covington lawsuit.
I wonder if ratings include airport captives. And if they do, do they use the number of people passing through the airport in a day as having watched?
#1 YouTuber PewDiePie —a two-man operation reviewing video games and making fart jokes— is bigger than THREE network prime-times PUT TOGETHER..???
Yes.
...plus all the airport fees.
Shep gets the gays. That Madow dude gets the whole LGBTQBLTBBQ enchilada.
Even rival far-left MSNBC has higher ratings than CNN!
Trump-stomping hasn’t done much for its ratings.
