The Cable News Network is still trying to figure out how to get people to watch their shows.
In a landscape where competition for viewers is more cutthroat than ever, new data showed that CNN’s ratings have plummeted to a 33-year low, marking a significant downturn for the network that for nearly a decade, has positioned itself as a critical voice against former President Donald Trump.
The decline is juxtaposed against Fox News, which has surged ahead, solidifying its position as the leading cable news outlet. Fox News’ triumph in the first quarter of 2024 was undeniable, with an average primetime viewership of two million from 7-11 p.m. ET, towering over MSNBC’s 1.2 million and CNN’s mere 606,000 average viewers.
The achievement extended Fox News’ reign as the most-watched cable news outlet during primetime to the 89th consecutive quarter, a streak that dates back to the early 2000s. The network’s success is bolstered by popular programs such as “The Ingraham Angle,” “Jesse Watters Primetime,” “Hannity,” and “Gutfeld!”
