CNN and MSNBC Lose Almost Half Their Viewers in One YearBy Noel Sheppard | November 27, 2013 | 10:43It's been a tough year for the liberal cable news outlets.Data released Tuesday show CNN shedding 48 percent of total viewers since last November and MSNBC dropping 45 percent.The numbers were even worse in the all important demographic of people aged 25 to 54 as CNN's ratings dropped 59 percent and MSNBC's 52 percent.In an off-election year, and with last November's numbers skewed higher as a result of the presidential election, it should be expected for ratings to decline.However, Fox News didn't see close to these losses. In total day, FNC is only down 18 percent since last November and 30 percent in the demo.As you might imagine, prime time numbers were also down.
Based on a related story about large numbers of people dropping cable for other alternatives it would stand to reason that total viewership is diminishing.
