Fox News extends its lead as America's most-watched cable news network to 208 consecutive months.
CNN's prime time hosts can only hope it will be better in the new building.
As CNN prepares to move its prime time studios and operations to a glitzy new building at New York City's brand new--and widely reviled--Hudson Yards development, the network saw its prime time lineup drop 26% in April compared to the same month one year ago. CNN's total audience in prime time was well under a million viewers--767,000--while competitors MSNBC and Fox News finished the month far ahead: MSNBC in second place overall with 1.
April ranks as CNN's lowest-rated month among total viewers in nearly four years, since October 2015. CNN's, which has been the network's highest-rated hour, drew a total audience of 917,000 viewers in April, the show's worst-ever performance. Among viewers 25-54, the demographic most coveted by national advertisers, the falloff for CNN was even more stark: down 41 percent. CNN drew 198,000 viewers in the demo, behind MSNBC and Fox News . All three networks saw year-over-year declines in April, with MSNBC down 36% and FNC down 19%.led with a total audience of 3.086 million, followed by FNC's. None of CNN's prime time hours finished among the top five shows overall.
