CNN viewers plummet by as much as 90% from last year

Tuning out! Viewership at scandal-plagued CNN plummets by as much as 90% from last year in both overall audience and in advertiser-coveted 25-to-54 demographic

CNN saw a sharp decline in viewership the first week of 2022 with a nearly 90% drop both overall and in the critical demographic coveted by advertisers

The network averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of January 3, a precipitous drop to the nearly 2.7 million viewers from the same week in 2021

CNN in the last year has been plagued by high-profile scandals, most notably the firing of its top-rated prime time star Chris Cuomo

Critics have slammed network boss Jeff Zucker over the declining ratings, which began in 2021, with some accusing him of 'protecting perverts and pedophiles'

And the viewing had dwindled prior to last year too.

well, shows how much OMB and mean tweets helped them out,

If my understanding is correct, a lot of XiNN viewers were based on monitors they placed all over which were locked to only show them. Airports for example. People started ditching the monitors and 'viewers' went down. My take.

Appears that these cycles of down numbers and up numbers are common to all the networks. Appears they all go up or down depending on the election cycle, etc. Sincerely. bruce.

Instead of trying to fix CNN, make it truthful, believable, build some integrity, TV providers such as Direct TV are planning on axing real news stations such as OAN. If this is successful then others will follow till there is nothing but big brother watching you, telling you what to watch, think and believe. Almost like our public school systems.

On top of this Direct TV is in talks to merge with Dish Network so alternatives will be limited.
