Nielsen said CNN came in 22nd place, recorded just 972,000 viewers during primetime.

Fox News even beat out ESPN with its 1.78 million viewers during primetime. It seems the American people under a Trump administration are more concerned about politics and the economy than sports. MSNBC trailed ESPN for the third spot at 1.75 viewers during primetime. This is the fourth consecutive year Fox News has blown out its competitors.

Nielsen said CNN came in 22nd place, recorded just 972,000 viewers during primetime.

The gap in viewership between Fox News and CNN on a nightly basis is nearly 1.5 million viewers daily during primetime.

Fox News' "Hannity" was the most popular news show with 3.3 million viewers during primetime. The second was "Tucker Carlson Tonight" with 3.1 million, and MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show" was third with 2.78 million.

To sum up, CNN is suffering a credibility crisis as viewership is in a mass exodus, fleeing the fake news network to more conservative networks, such as Fox News. There appears to be no plan of action by CNN or liberal media to fix the hemorrhaging of viewership, indicating the trend will persist through 2020.

Herring Networks, Inc. relies on a custom Comscore measurement solution powered by TV viewing from one MVPD partner across 70 U.S. markets. We have been working with Comscore since 2009 and believe its data is the most accurate in our industry, as it uses set-top box data, not sampling. In March 2019, Comscore data shows that of the networks categorized exclusively as Cable, News/ Business/ Info networks, OAN ranked as the fourth-highest service in that genre, behind Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and CNN. OAN outperformed CNN Headline News, Fox Business Channel, CNBC, BBC World News, Fusion, Bloomberg and others, per the same March 2019 data. Also, for the March 2019 period, OAN outranked SyFy, Animal Planet, Nat Geo, Travel, and other well-established channels. Excluding all Broadcast channels, OAN ranked as the 40th national cable channel in March 2019 for the one MVPD included in the custom measurement. These custom rankings will vary from Comscore’s syndicated TV Essentials rankings, which covers Comscore’s full set-top box measurement in over 30MM households and 210 local markets.
