And as always, Fox dominates.
Via TV Newser:
Jeff Zucker’s first year at the helm of CNN produced mixed results for the channel. The good news for CNN comes in total day, where the network edged out MSNBC to come in second for the first time in two years. The bad news: CNN was third in primetime, posting its lowest 8-11pmET ratings in 20 years.
Compared to 2012, CNN was flat in total viewers and down -2% in the A25-54 demographic in total day, down the least compared to Fox News and MSNBC. In primetime, the channel was down -16% in total viewers and -18% in the A25-54 demographic. With the exception of HLN, all the cable news networks are down compared to 2012, which was a Presidential election year.
Despite the network’s 20-year low in Monday to Sunday primetime, the weekday prime shows were up compared to 2012. “Anderson Cooper 360″ is up for the year, +18% in total viewers and +19% in the A25-54 demographic. Ditto “Piers Morgan Tonight,” which was up +1% in total viewers and +2% in the demo year-over-year. The 10pmET timeslot — which may be prime territory for further experimentation in 2014 — was up +2% and down -1%, respectively.
