CNN Loses the Peace

CNN, which saw its ratings rise some 40 percent in the first quarter of last year during the buildup to the war in Iraq and especially during the invasion, saw them plummet in the first quarter of 2004, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported today (Wednesday). According to the newspaper, CNN's average viewership for the entire day fell 52 percent to 458,000, while in primetime it fell 48 percent to 806,000. Fox News also experienced a less dramatic decline -- 36 percent for both the entire day and for primetime.

2. CNN beats Fox on "#viewers" - but Fox viewers stay on channel - so average

numbers are a winner for Fox.

Year after war, ratings for cable networks plummet

By CAROLINE WILBERT
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

<snip>CNN's average viewership fell 52 percent to 458,000. In prime time, average viewership fell 48 percent to 806,000.

CNN's rival Fox News also saw viewership fall off — though its losses were not as dramatic. Fox News' total day viewership fell 36 percent to 824,000, and prime time viewership fell 36 percent to 1.4 million.

7. NPR's news ratings have been going up for a few years

I would submit that that is because NPR does not suck as much as CNN/Fox/MSNBC.
