CNN was one of basic cable’s 10-most-watched networks for 2018, coming in at No. 7. with an average of 706,000 viewers across the 24-hour day (6 a.m. – 6 a.m.), per live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen.
On the downside, that 706,000 viewers figure is -9 percent from what the network drew in the 24-hour daypart in 2017 (779,000).
CNN finished No. 11 across basic cable in prime time, averaging 988,000 viewers across the 8 – 11 p.m. time period. Unfortunately for CNN, that’s -6 percent versus what it drew in prime time last year.
The year-over-year-losses among younger news viewers were even more striking.
