It’s hard to imagine how far and how fast CNN has fallen on hard times.
The former number one cable news network – the people who invented the business – dropped out of the top 30 prime time cable networks during the last week of October.
As Mediaite explains it:
For the first time in more than two years, CNN fell out of the top 30 cable channels last week in prime time (total viewers). Fox News ranked 3rd, behind USA and ESPN, while MSNBC was 26th. It was the 43rd consecutive week Fox News finished in the top 5 cable channels in prime time.
In total day, FNC was #5, CNN #27 and MSNBC #31.
To rub a little salt in the wound, CNN finished fourth among cable news networks on election night.
Correction: Make that a lot of salt.
