Now, they are also grappling with the troubling decline of their audience. Nielsen ratings revealed that MSNBC, known for hosts like Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid, experienced a significant 23% drop in viewership on Thursday compared to the same day last year, according to Mediaite, a liberal industry news site. CNN fared even worse, with ratings plummeting by 43% on Thursday. Following Trump&#8217;s win, both MSNBC and CNN have seen drastic declines in viewership: MSNBC recorded 596k total viewers (71k in the key 25-54 demographic), while CNN had 419k total viewers (91k in the same demographic). The primetime ratings were equally dismal; MSNBC&#8217;s primetime numbers fell by 54%, and CNN&#8217;s dropped by 30% compared to last year. Notably, Alex Wagner&#8217;s show hit its lowest ratings since its launch in August 2022, while Chris Hayes also saw his worst performance since May 2016. In contrast, Fox News&#8217; ratings surged by 60% over November 7 of last year. The following Friday continued this trend with seven MSNBC programs recording their lowest Friday ratings of the year outside holiday weekends. This decline comes just days after MSNBC outperformed CNN on Election Day with six million viewers compared to CNN\u2019s five million; however, neither network could rival Fox News\u2019 impressive ten million viewers that day. Overall rating trends may signal significant implications for both networks as a new era under Trump approaches Washington and beyond<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2367712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/jabronis.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[9373,33457,3746,4882,43466],"class_list":["post-2367711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cnn","tag-media-analysis","tag-msnbc","tag-ratings","tag-trump-victory"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/jabronis.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2367711"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367711\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2367715,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2367711\/revisions\/2367715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2367712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2367711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2367711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2367711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
