Nine Things That Are Now More Popular than Pitiful CNN

This week it was reported that CNN lost 26 percent of its audience, down 237,000 viewers since April 2018, and down nearly 40 percent from its 2016 peak. To put those numbers in their proper perspective:

 

 

 

According to Wikipedia, the population of prostitutes in the U.S. (approximately one million) is larger than the population of CNN viewers.

Across all cable networks, CNN now ranks 15th, behind Home and Garden TV (4th), the Hallmark Channel (9th) and the Food Network (14th).

The 237,000 viewers CNN has shed over just the last year is more than the populations of Richmond, Virginia (227,032), Baton Rouge, Louisiana (225,374) or Des Moines, Iowa (217,521).

Their remaining 767,000 viewers could all comfortably fit in Jefferson County, Kentucky (current population 771,158).

Their current ratings are lower than those for failed TV shows such as TBSs Wrecked (846,000), cancelled after three seasons. The bottom-rated show on broadcast TV this week, CWs The 100, had 901,000 viewers, which was 134,000 more than CNN.

More people tuned in for the 2018 Little League Baseball World Series (an average of 1.02 million per game; more than 3 million for the championship) than watch CNN these days.

There are more real-estate agents in the United States (1.3 million) than there are CNN viewers. And many more people work at Walmart (1.5 million) than watch CNN.

One survey suggests there could be twice as many witches and pagans in the United States (1 to 1.5 million) than there are CNN viewers.

Americans are more likely to ride a bicycle to work than to watch CNN. According to a new report from the Census Bureau, 836,569 Americans over the age of 16 say they ride a bike to work.

More households keep chickens and other poultry birds as pets (1,020,000) than tune in to CNNs primetime shows, according to a survey from the American Veterinary Medical Association.

That's a lot of hookers! LOL

I actually started watching "the 100" quite a long time ago... got all the way to season three before my interest in the show fell off. At the time I was having to pay for them, so maybe now I can finish watching them on Netflix without having to pay per-episode. Much like how the Walking Dead started to fall off, the 100 was the same way. When you pay per-episode you really get pissed off when they stiff you with a shit episode of backstory as filler. I noticed this happened a lot towards the end on the Walking Dead, it got so bad that even when I'd wait a whole year to watch them for free on Netflix that I still couldn't get thru an entire season without getting put off by some shit filler backstory episode they would cram in there.

There are very few series that can maintain a solid performance thru the entire series. The Sopranos is one that did not miss a beat thru it's entire 6.2 series. Another one would be the TV show "Friends"... I'd say shows like NCIS, CSI, Law and Order and other such series are also pretty consistent in keeping their viewers entertained thru every episode, although there is rarley any "plot" to these types of show thru the different seasons so it's a whole lot easier to hop around and make every episode seem new and interesting. Sometimes these shows will run two or three episodes together in a sort of "plot" then maybe re-intrude it later in different seasons but I'd argue it's much harder to keep a plot going for multiple seasons.

My two cents.

Due to unpopular demand, CNN is cutting costs and downsizing its staff. As the network's ratings continue to dwindle, over 100 CNN employees have accepted voluntary buyouts.

CNN is planning to cut up to 300 jobs, "many being older employees with years at the network," according to a report on Monday.

 

 

 


According to FTVLive, a website that monitors the television industry, "Word is that just under 200 people will be pink slipped and just over 100 will be offered a buyout." Staffers are reportedly calling the cuts a "massive brain drain" because so many veteran employees are being given pink slips.



CNN finished the month of April as the number 15 network on cable -- behind the Food Network, Hallmark Channel and History Channel.
