Look What Network Is Not Beating It in Prime-Time Ratings     <\/p>\n<p>  \u00a0By Johnathan Jones   \u00a0May 16, 2023 at 8:30am      CNN dropped to fourth place in primetime on Friday, just two days after the network achieved a rare ratings victory when it hosted a town hall event that featured former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p> Trump helped the struggling network dominate its competition at Fox News, MSNBC and Newsmax in the 8 p.m. ET hour Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p> The New Hampshire town hall in which the former president sparred with CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins was watched by 3.3 million total viewers, according to ratings reported by Mediaite.<\/p>\n<p>  Meanwhile, Fox News and MSNBC hauled in 1.3 million viewers apiece and Newsmax\u2019s Eric Bolling attracted 394,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p> CNN paid an immediate price as many people on the left were upset the network gave Trump a forum.<\/p>\n<p>   Simultaneously, conservatives did not reward Collins or her network by returning to watch it without the former president.<\/p>\n<p> Two days after the town hall, CNN dropped to fourth place in the 8 p.m. ET slot.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cAnderson Cooper 360\u201d attracted only 447,000 total viewers for the evening \u2014 behind even Newsmax, which brought in 467,000 viewers, Mediaite reported.<\/p>\n<p> The upstart conservative network celebrated its victory in a Monday tweet.<\/p>\n<p>   Meanwhile, Fox News won the night after \u201cFox News Tonight\u201d drew in 1.3 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p> MSNBC\u2019s Chris Hayes came in second with 1.1 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>  The Fox News victory must be put into context.<\/p>\n<p> The slot that was held by Tucker Carlson for more than six years routinely hauled in 3 million viewers before he was cut loose with no warning and without an explanation on April 24.<\/p>\n<p>  While 1.3 million was good enough to put the network over the top for the hour on Friday, the successor to \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight\u201d drew a fraction of the audience 8 p.m. presumably would have just weeks before.<\/p>\n<p> Fox News is still navigating its way through Carlson\u2019s ouster, which has led to a surge in viewers for Newsmax.<\/p>\n<p>  MSNBC\u2019s ratings have remained largely unaffected by the recent cable news drama.<\/p>\n<p>  Are you now watching Newsmax instead of Fox News?<\/p>\n<p>     CNN has long struggled to compete with both Fox News and liberal counterpart MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p> The network hosted Trump for a special event and the bounce was predictably short-lived, given how it was handled, with Collins taking a confrontational approach to the former president.<\/p>\n<p>  Network CEO Chris Licht is now navigating a decades-old ship that lost to its historic rivals and ended what could have been a successful week below a relative cable news infant in Newsmax.<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Johnathan Jones has worked as a reporter, an editor, and producer in radio, television and digital media.<\/p>\n<p>   Johnathan &#8220;Kipp&#8221;
