Brian Flood, Fox News Media reporter, may have smiled while he was reporting on the ratings disparity between Fox News and CNN.
CNN’s obsession with January 6 does not work magic. Brian Stelter is right to complain about the “freedom from reach” of CNN.
CNN had its smallest audience in 22 years on Friday among the demographic most coveted by advertisers as the network continued its ongoing struggle to attract viewers.
CNN received an average audience of 56,000 between the ages of 25 and 54, on June 17. CNN’s last lower turnout in the critical audience was on July 10, 2000.
Friday was also CNN’s smallest weekday audience among total viewers since June 2014, as the network settled for only 283,000 average viewers. By comparison, Fox News averaged 1.4 million total viewers and 209,000 in the key demo. Since August 6, 2015, Fox News had the largest lead over CNN.
This dismal turnout was the culmination of a terrible three-day run for CNN. Warner Bros. For its worst performance in three weeks since June 2014, Discovery network had only 88,000 demo viewers from June 15-17.
Stelter’s Time slot is also a sign of how bad Fox loses to CNN. They are blaming democracy for its peril.
