From January through December of 2013, “the cable news audience, by nearly all measures, declined,” the Journalism Project staff noted. “The combined median prime-time viewership of the three major news channels -- CNN, Fox News and MSNBC -- dropped 11 percent to about 3 million, the smallest it has been since 2007.”
Meanwhile,
the daytime audience for cable news “was more stable, holding flat at about 2
million viewers across the three news channels,” the staff stated. “CNN (up 12
percent) and Fox (up 2 percent) actually experienced growth,” which “was
counterbalanced by more deep losses at MSNBC (down 15.5 percent).”
According
to a new report
released on Wednesday by the Pew Research Center, the liberal MSNBC
channel's prime-time audience fell 24 percent to 619,500 during the last
calendar year, more than the Cable News Network -- which dropped 13 percent
to a viewership of 543,000 – and the Fox News Channel, which lost 6 percent but
still easily held onto first place with 1.75 million viewers.
As
if that weren't bad enough, the “Lean Forward” network's revenue in 2013
lost 2 percent to total only $475 million. During the same period, CNN's
income grew 2 percent to reach $1.11 billion, and the revenue for Fox News
increased 5 percent to a tidy sum of $1.89 billion.
