CNN Ratings Collapse, Losing To Nickelodeon And Fox News

[Swordsmyth]

Trump's "fake news" nemesis, CNN, experienced a dramatic collapse in ratings last week compared to 2017.According to AdWeek, CNN viewership tumbled 41% in daytime TV ratings and tumbled 36% in primetime versus the same week last year.
"CNN ranked No. 6 across basic cable in total primetime viewers, and No. 5 in total day this past week. Despite the top 10 finishes, the network was -36 percent in primetime viewers, and -41 percent in total day viewers vs. the same week last year", AdWeek wrote.

The increasingly more partisan news network was once again beat by its traditional competitors: Fox News was No. 1 across the board for basic cable for the Labor Day week of Sept. 03, 2018 (No. 1 in total viewers across the 24-hour day for 35 consecutive weeks), while MSNBC came in second.
In basic cable, CNN placed fifth with ESPN and Nickelodeon placing No. 3 and No. 4, respectively as Sponge Bob suddenly emerges to be more popular/credible than Jake Tepper and Chris Cuomo.

Fox News was No. 1 across basic cable for the Labor Day week of Sept. 3, 2018. That’s No. 1 in total viewers across the 24-hour day (35 consecutive weeks).

Yet the basic cable powerhouse lost its stranglehold on the No. 1 ranking in prime time. Its 14-week streak as the No. 1 basic cable network in the key daypart came to an end this past week, with ESPN seizing the top spot thanks to its coverage of the 2018 U.S. Open.

Fox lost viewers too but not as much. MSNBC gained viewers.

The network was -3 percent in total prime time viewers, and -15 percent in total day viewers vs. the same week in 2017,

MSNBC was once again the second-most-watched network across basic cable in total day, and slipped to No. 3 in prime time, as shown below, thanks to yet another dominant performance by The Rachel Maddow Show.

But unlike Fox News and CNN, MSNBC managed to post year-over-year audience growth. The network was +4 percent in total viewers, and +4 percent in total day viewers. Last week was a bad news week for President Trump, and bad news weeks for POTUS 45 tend to result in strong ratings for MSNBC.

Fox lost viewers too but not as much. MSNBC gained viewers.

MSNBC hosted Omarossa multiple times but CNN for some reason declined to host her.

Did Omarossa lift MSNBC and sink CNN's ratings?

Allegedly Omarossa saga used to be a big ratings draw during Apprentice show.

Still in the top 10% that would be a 4 out of 5 stars. They are not going anywhere.

I don't know how how much online video contributes to ratings, but CNN and MSNBC do very well on youtube. Fox has significantly lower viewcounts.
