The first political primary of the 2024 presidential election, again starring Donald Trump, barely topped 700,000 viewers on CNN. total Average number of viewers in prime time (707,000 to be exact).
If my calculations are correct, between 8 and 11 p.m. ET, when CNNLOL was broadcasting that particular Iowa caucus, the network averaged just 689,000 viewers.
MSNBC didn't do much better, averaging 1.179 million viewers in prime time.
Fox News' revenue was 2.886 million, almost exactly 1 million more viewers than both combined.

The demo numbers that determine advertising rates are horribly low. No one will confuse me with a FOX News fan, but 10 or 15 years ago, when the smart set told me that now that FOX viewers had died of old age, MSNBC and CNN would dominate. I remember that great joy. Fox still attracts more young viewers than CNN and her MSNBC combined.
As you can see from the graph, throughout the day of the Iowa caucuses, when millions of Americans are expected to tune in to the latest broadcast CNN analysis, CNN averaged just 520,000 viewers. did. MSNBC had the highest audience of 830,000. Fox News attracted 1.735 million people.
All three networks are down compared to the total prime time audience Heading into the 2020 Iowa caucuses. Fox News was down 34% (4.4 million viewers in 2020), MSNBC was down 53% (2.5 million viewers in 2020), CNN was down 61 percent (1.8 million people in 2020).
61%!
Maybe, finally, the American people are waking up to the fact that cable news, especially CNN (a far-left conspiracy theory outlet that interferes in elections and spreads political violence), is a toxic dump of lies and stupidity. Does that mean it has started? Crazy racist division and hatred?
Part of the problem with cable news is that by “problem” we mean “glorious news,” but in 2020, almost 80 million Households with cable/satellite television subscriptions. Currently, that number is approaching 56 million. Cable news viewership is much lower than it was four years ago. Eight years ago, in 2016, approximately 98 million people subscribed to pay TV. It can only be good for America if fewer and fewer households have cable news piped into their homes through open drains.
Nevertheless, the 28 percent decline in pay TV subscribers doesn't fully explain CNN's loss of 61 percent of its audience.
myself? I think the problem with CNN is fundamental. The first issue is trust. Remember all this:
There's also the basic fact that CNN employs the most unattractive anchors ever assembled in front of a television camera. Smug, dishonest, manipulative, superior, bigoted, humorless, self-centered, and downright greasy.
How will CNN survive if affirmative action disappears? (With fewer pay-TV subscribers, there will be less free money from transportation.) Ten years ago, CNN would have benefited from They would have filed for bankruptcy in a free market based on ad spending (based on viewership). Ah, streaming is performance-based.
If CNN can't get Trump back on top and pass the 1 million voter mark on the night of the Iowa caucuses, this fake news outlet will be in even more trouble than I expected. I hope CNN dies a long, painful, humiliating, and expensive death.
