CNN's Primetime Viewership Plummets to Just 444,000 as Don Lemon Hits Record Low

CNN’s average primetime viewership took a nose dive to only 444,000 viewers during the week of January 16, according to reports.

And no, it wasn’t a slow news week. Between the classified documents scandal, Ukraine, and the roil over House committee seats, CNN had plenty to report on, or should we say ‘spin.’

Meanwhile, Fox News raked in an average of 1.996 million primetime viewers during that week, five times more than CNN.

MSNBC faired better than CNN, attracting nearly a million with 943,000 average primetime viewers.

CNN barely cracked 400,000 with just 417,000 in total day viewers.

Fox News more than tripled that with 1.387 million.

MSNBC did better, but still only averaged 629,000 total viewers throughout the day.

In the 25-54 age demographic that sets advertiser rates, Fox News averaged 256,000 demo viewers, MSNBC averaged just 91,000, and CNN did just 93,000.

Fox News averaged 176,000 demo viewers throughout the day and came in a distant second with 80,000, and MSNBC came in last with 69,000.

For cable news, which set a baseline for success for 100,000 demo viewers, CNN and MSNBC are failing miserably.

In all of cable, Fox News came in second behind ESPN in total primetime viewers, MSNBC third, and CNN eighteenth.

Newly-installed Chris Licht was supposed to turn CNN back into a network viewers wanted to watch, but it doesn’t look like it’s working.

In other words, CNN sucks.

Maybe it’s because they refused to replace the dishonest anchors responsible for the network’s demise?

  • Trump Trashes Troops Hoax
  • Policemen Killed at Mostly Peaceful January 6 Protest Hoax
  • Rittenhouse Hoax
  • Eating While Black Hoax
  • Border Agents Whipping Illegals Hoax

As previously reported, Lemon was demoted from his primetime show to save CNN’s failed morning show. With Lemon on board, New Day became CNN This Morning, and that became a catastrophe that averaged only 331,000 viewers.

During that time, Fox News attracted 1.3 million and 180,000 demo viewers.

Don Lemon sunk to only 65,000 demo viewers.

CNN has been a national joke for quite a while, but now it’s official.

If Licht legitimately wants to move CNN toward political moderation, he’s between a rock and a hard place.

Over the years CNN has completely squandered any legitimacy it used to have and I seriously doubt that it has any remaining viewers that are to the right of Mao Zedong.

That means any moves to the right are going to cause CNN to bleed lefty viewers off to MSNBC. If it got rid of all it’s partisan leftists in one fell swoop, the right wouldn’t suddenly flock onboard, they’ll stick with what they know, but the left will desert en masse, leaving them with a 0 share.

He’s got to try to do it gradually so that he can slowly try to entice some of the moderates to come back as he loses the extreme left.

Personally, I don’t think that balancing act is even possible. Credibility and trust are two things that, once lost, are almost impossible to get back. If they are able to pull it off, it’s likely going to take 20 or 30 years…long enough for the people they betrayed to die off.

And all the while, as they slowly shift toward the middle, the leftists are going to be screaming that they’re just becoming another mouthpiece of the right, because to them, if you’re not on the extreme left, you’re literally Hitler.

Who is paying to keep them on the air? That’s the question. No way advertisers are buying air time, but the ads keep running. Someone’s financing the propaganda.

AT&T owns this communist network through a subsidiary. Do what you got to do to send AT&T a message regarding their egregious communist tendencies.

Crazy thing about that number of viewers is the numbers are padded by government buildings and airports where it’s tuned to CNN and nobody watching! I was at lunch in the Pentagon this week and CNN was on every screen…WHY???
