Fox News is dominating CNN in prime time so badly that their least-watched shows are outperforming CNN’s best.
Fox’s least watched show in prime time is “Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream,” which drew in an average of 1.5 million viewers per episode last month. “Primetime” is 8-11pm on Monday-Friday. Across all networks, more people tune in from 9:15-9:30 than any other time in prime time, and the fewest are watching during the tail end of prime time – 10:45 to 11 pm. Bream’s show airs at 11 pm.
CNN’s best-viewed show in prime time, “Anderson Cooper 360,” brought in an average audience of 1.1 million last month. Cooper’s show airs from 8-10pm.
In other words, Fox’s least watched show in prime time drew in 40% more viewers than CNN’s most-watched. Perhaps milking conspiracy theories about Trump’s connections to Russia hasn’t been as big a ratings boost for CNN as they’d expected.
Even Fox’s non-prime time shows outperformed.
According to the Washington Times:
Several shows in Fox’s morning and daytime lineups also outperformed “AC360,” including “America’s Newsroom,” “Fox & Friends,” “Outnumbered,” “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” “Happening Now,” “Shepard Smith Reporting,” “Outnumbered Overtime” and “Daily Briefing with Dana Perino.”
It’s the latest bad news for CNN, which saw prime-time viewership decline 17 percent in the first quarter of 2018. Not a single CNN show cracked the top 20 in total viewership, although the network’s numbers were better in the coveted 25-54 demo, among whom “AC360” placed 12th.
If MSNBC is included, there are 15 Fox News and eight MSNBC shows across all time slots with higher ratings than CNN’s most popular show.
Trump has singled out CNN for criticism more than any other mainstream news outlet – and its hosts that have supported that President that have fared the best in the rating wars. Fox’s Sean Hannity is the rating king, with Tucker Carlson right behind him.
Are you surprised CNN’s ratings continue to collapse? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below!
When Ted Turner married the witch Fonda he and his CNN started to fade. Now they are still going to pot. Good going CNN.
Finally more people are finding out the truth in journalism. I still really think that President Trump’s rating are higher than is being reported.
Russian collusion and Stormy Daniels, two sure losers.
Keep it up CNN, maybe people will start to get interested again, you never can tell.
*****chuckles*****
Maybe if they stopped rerunning the same garbage……….CNN is in a
continuous loop
Paragraph two says, “…Fox’s least watched show in prime time is ‘Fox News at Night with Shannon Bream,'”
What Fox News host ?? Your headline tease does NOT match your story.
NOBODY watches the never ending lies of the liberal media.
YES, the walking dead…….
What, you mean CNN has viewers?
That was not the Gulf War . . . that was the war in Iraq. And they did eventually find WMDs, although it was not widely covered when it happened. Those were chemical agents that had their origins in the USA more than a decade earlier. Most of their chemical agents had been sent to Syria by Saddam ahead of the invasion, as could be seen on satellite footage.
During the Gulf war, when G.W. Bush invaded and occupied a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 nor had any WMDs, FOX News was the only news program broadcast to the troops. No wonder the Middle East is the mess it is now.
During my international travels, one only gets CNN in English and no Fox coverage anyway. Could be why so many people abroad are so skewed because they don’t know any difference. Fox needs to go global!
WTF?
An entertainer you say? What’s your point?
….Fox still has some truth tellers ….
But none with sufficient intelligence and/or influence to make the emasculated and feminized post-Roger-Ailes New Fox other, at best, than a CNN Lite.
Still, that is, 75+% un-and-anti-American.
Kenneth . . . . you laugh, but only from ignorance of the FACTS by not watching FOX. FOX documents everything they say, unlike FAKE NEWS that does not document most everything they spew.
mueller and his gang of “Inquisitors” are going down and taking most of the DNC, a few leaders of the Alphabet Agencies and other assorted criminals, with them.
Ha – Ha – Ha!
Hannity tells the truth? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That’s just what I needed this morning, a good laugh. Don’t forget Hannity isn’t a news reporter, he’s an “entertainer.” He said so himself.
DON’T think for a minute Fox is all good because it’s not , you got two libtards (Murdochs sons) over there running the show and they love people like Shepard Smith who NEVER tells the truth.
Hannity’s show tells the 100% truth, it’s the biggest reason why Soros and affiliates have been doing everything in their power to get him off the air.
If Fox got rid of Hannity their ratings would plummet big time and they know it. Fox and Friends tell the truth but some shows you can’t take seriously like “Special Report” , they ALWAYS have contributors that are a part of the anti USA and anti Trump army .
People from the Washington Post and Politico for example , then you have real Trump haters like Judith Miller etc… these people and outfits HATE HATE HATE Trump.
Fox still has some truth tellers that are not completely paid for and controlled by the communist left like CNN,MSNBC,ABC,CBS,NBC,NYT,WASHPOST,HUFFPOST,NEWSWEEK, GQ, VANITY FAIR and on and on.
People , well smart people i should say gravitate to the truth and you will never get any truth whatsoever from the outfits mentioned above.
Go Fox!
I would say that’s a good indication that a greater amount of the American population are reading more on the internet and not the MSN, or watching the major networks for the news. It took some time, but the transition from what the CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC organizations want us to believe, is not reality and we will find better sources for our news There are plenty of news outlets that give us the truth.
Congratulations to Fox News! I know I appreciate your stories and the fact that you tell us the truth.
One terrorist at a time . . .one terrorist ‘state’ at a time . . . one terrorist network at a time . . .
CNN, kindly known as the Communist News Network (thanks in no small part to their Commie commentator, Van Jones) should move its operations to China where Communists are more welcome!
Even liberals can SOMETIMES tell when they are being lied to.
Don’t you just love to see the liars sinking into their own excrement? I sure do.
Don’t insult the National Enquirer Phillip.
This is Funny, Actually quite comical, The American viewer is not as interested in Trashing the President of the free world as much as all the networks thought, CNN literally just makes up stuff , says a credible source after they make it up leaked it, and then they run with whatever they cook up that sounds good, Russian Collusion for 16 months, Now its Stormy Daniels, (Gossip Natl Enquirer crap right beside three head UFO sighting,) Anyway they just dont get it,
CNN doesn’t rise to the level of The National Enquirer, when it come to telling the truth.
CNN is a stress generator and needs to be banned from Airports, doctors rooms, hospitals, malls. .
CNN is pure garbage pure and simple and serves no purpose whatsoever.
Pig nose Ryan is a racist blob, full stop.
No surprise who is interested in CNN’s garbage?
It’s so easy to see why, I am amazed that people at CNN don’t get it. On FOX, we mostly get both sides of an issue, biased to the right, sure, but not insanely so. (Well, Hannity is a bit heavy on the right) Then Smith, he is the far leftie nut on Fox but we just turn him off)
They also report on actual NEWS sometimes.
On CNN, we get Trump bashing, all day, every day, every show, to the point of it being impossible to watch after awhile.
Could not happen to a worst network CNN is toast!!
Used to watch CNN for many years, then a friend told me about Hannity and Colmes. Started watching that show and soon learned of the other great show on FOX News. There many be a few hosts on FOX (Smith is one) that don’t care for Trump but for the most part the hosts are fair and balanced. Altho’ FOX could dismiss a few females, i.e. Tarlov, Harf, but if you can stand airheads then those 2 could satisfy your needs for stupidity!!
Yeah, that’s why the polls done for last week showed Fox heading all time slots from 7-12 and in some cases, Hannity had 4x more viewers than the other network programs in that time slot.
Get back in the box and be quiet, danny boy.
Clearly, you are not paying attention. The VAST majority disagree with you.

Danny boy, the joke is on CNN. Fox employees, except for a couple, are laughing their butts off, all the way to the bank. While , CNN is laying people off.
Haha, they wish, worldwide Fox is a Joke.
Not surprised at all about the low ratings at CNN. You couldn’t pay me enough money to watch their lies, propaganda & constant bashing of Trump & his family. Their agenda is out there for everyone to see & people are waking up & saying no to mainstream media (the truly FAKE news). Everyone I know watches FOX or gets their news from the Internet. CNN wouldn’t know unbiased reporting if it smacked them upside the head. Can’t stand Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper, Jim Acosta, Van Jones or any of their other idiot talking heads.
