CNN Struggles as Fox News Dominates Cable News Ratings

Amid intense competition, CNN faces a daunting challenge to retain viewership.

Recent data revealed CNN’s ratings hit a 33-year low, contrasting sharply with Fox News’ soaring success.

Fox News maintained its primetime dominance for the 89th consecutive quarter, attracting two million viewers on average, while CNN trailed with only 606,000 viewers.

CNN’s decline is compounded by its weak performance in the 25-54 age demographic, signaling a need for strategic reassessment. Despite efforts to revamp programming, including relocating “CNN This Morning,” led by new CEO Mark Thompson, the network grapples with declining interest and engagement.
