During prime time hours, which is the most desired audience to capture, CNN has dropped to just over 500,000 viewers on average.
The left-wing network is struggling to bring in viewers. CNN’s most popular show on Wednesday was “Anderson Cooper 360,” which only captured 637,000 viewers.
In comparison, Fox News receives nearly five times more than CNN.
Tucker Carlson’s show, for example, received 3.14 million total viewers this past week.
On average, Fox News receives 2.57 million viewers during prime time hours.
Forbes reported on Fox News’ success that the channel prevails by “easily beating back the competition from CNN and MSNBC.”
“According to ratings data compiled by Nielsen, Fox News delivered an average prime time audience of 2.578 million viewers in November, followed by MSNBC (1.091 million total viewers) and CNN (654,000 viewers),” Forbes added.
“In the key demo of adults 25-54 — the demographic most valued by advertisers – Fox finished first with an average audience of 420,000 viewers. CNN was second (148,000 viewers) and MSNBC (140,000 viewers).”

Liberal MSNBC crushed CNN, too, more than doubling the network with an average of 1.18 million total prime time viewers.
Among the overall domination of Fox News is host Greg Gutfeld.
As reported in December, “Gutfeld!” — a rebrand of the “The Greg Gutfeld Show” — is about a year old, and still building. The success of the show has shocked elites in the media, begrudgingly earning Gutfeld “the king of late night” title.
Fox’s “Gutfeld!” routinely beats out late night shows hosted by left-leaning Jimmy Kimmel on ABC and Jimmy Fallon on NBC, and stomped Stephen Colbert’s ratings for the first time in August…
And a notable loser from the Fox News domination is newsman Chris Wallace, who jumped ship to join CNN+ just weeks before Warner Bros. Discovery announced that the subscription streaming service would be scrapped.
The shutdown left Wallace a “victim,” he claimed.
“It’s an interesting thing and I’ve been a victim of all of this in the last week,” Wallace said.
“The idea was you’ve got to get a foothold in the streaming world because that’s where the future of news off the mainstream networks is going to be,” the 74-year-old continued. “Now you have some equally smart people that have come in with a diametrically opposed view, these are the new bosses at CNN+ because of [the Warner Bros. Discovery merger] who have come to the conclusion that to have a narrow niche product like a news streaming service doesn’t work.”
