Part 2/10:
Data released from Nielsen ratings indicates that Fox News continues its stronghold in cable news, securing 99 of the top 100 telecasts last week. A particularly mind-boggling statistic revealed that MSNBC and CNN, both of which have historically been viewed as major players in the industry, are facing unprecedented declines. MSNBC has witnessed a staggering 29% decrease in total viewers and a 40% plunge in the coveted 25-54 year demographic during prime time. By stark contrast, CNN has also reported a drop, demonstrating a 16% decline in total viewers and an 11% dip in the same demographic during prime time viewing hours.
