Q2 Cable News Ratings: Fox News Dominates; Far-Left CNN Sinks
Breitbart ^ | 5 Jul 2018 | John Nolte

Posted on 07/05/2018 1:57:52 PM PDT by detective

Fox News again dominated for the second quarter of 2018 not only in cable news, but in all of cable, while CNN landed in last place by a country mile.

For the eighth straight quarter, Fox was the most-watched network in all of cable. With an average of 1.409 million total day viewers, Fox attracted nearly as many eyeballs as MSNBC and CNN combined. MSNBC averaged just 930,000 viewers, while CNN nosedived with an average of just 658,000.

During primetime, Fox snagged an average of 2.447 million viewers, compared to MSNBC’s 1.736 million. With just 929,000, the far-left CNN could not even average a million.

I find it hard to believe CNN is far left of MSNBC.

And just think...CNN has all T.V.s set to them, in airports and other public places, so their “eyeball count” is really much less.

Very interesting

Fox has 48%. MSNBC 34%, and CNN with only 18% among the audience for these three major cable news channels.

In raw numbers I think I heard CNN was behind the Food Network, or some other obscure specialized channel. That’s gotta hurt .

Nobody wants to watch Don Lemon call Trump a racist yet again?

Nobody wants to hear the talking heads on the split screen hash over more aspects of Stormy Daniels????

“Still

If you tossed Airports, Doctors offices etc it’s probably a 50-50 split.

[I find it hard to believe CNN is far left of MSNBC.]

It has to be a very tight race. I would also think MSNBC is in the lead, slightly.

It’s all about turning left. Commie Pinko Left.

Yes but still stunned so many watch CNBC, which hard to believe, is much worse than even CNN.

What confounds me is that CNN, CNBC, MSNBC all stay open for business. With viewership consistently going down and their ratings are down the tubes, how can they keep broadcasting?

I find myself turning off Fox, because liberals are getting more talk time than conservatives.

Yet, they keep on rolling.

How do they manage to do that with such longterm, lousy ratings?
