CNN’s audience shriveled in the second quarter of 2019, averaging only 541,000 total viewers, less than half Fox News Channel’s 1.3 million average. But CNN struggled even more during the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. ET, finishing as the fifteenth most-watched network on basic cable behind networks such as TLC, Investigation Discovery and the Hallmark Channel. CNN averaged a dismal 761,000 primetime viewers while FNC averaged 2.4 million.
CNN also saw over 100 employees accept a voluntary buyout option, losing bureau chiefs and award winners in the process.
My theory - the rightwingnuts have one network echo-chamber that they watch 24/7/365 while the rest of the country watches everything else.
So each of the other networks are not getting the non-stop viewership They share total viewership of non-Trumpkins, which is a huge market, just divided. They'll get an hour here or there and the viewer moves to other sources.
This is why the non-rightwingers seem to be better versed in their political discussion. They get balance from a wide variety of sources.
You only see drump endorse one single network ----nothing else. It's because Faux is the RNC network.
It's always all about money. Cable ratings don't matter much if a cable channel is profitable.
CNN once had an old-style full staff of foreign correspondents like the broadcast news had, and these days, so many foreign stringers just aren't needed anymore. If CNN is stripping the fat and redundancy out of their outfit, the profit margin could increase while the viewership decreases.
As long as it makes money, CNN will be around. Just as all the others on cable.
It demonstrates the results you get from severe TDS and lying every hour about our President.
And you quite passionately believe every word that President Trump says is true?
