Maybe Chris Matthews can ask Obama for a bailout for MSNBC.

Ya'll never had any statistics class have you?

Fox is the leader in "Cable" news in "average viewer ship". They sill lag significantly behind CNN in cumulative viewer ship. That is to say on a typical heavy viewing day Fox will see an average viewer ship of around 3 million viewers to CNN's 2 million where as the cumulative viewer ship for CNN is significantly higher for CNN at around 100 million to Fox's 75 million viewers. What this data means is that CNN has more total viewers than Fox viewers who tune in for shorter periods of time to catch up on the news. Where as Fox viewers tend to linger longer watching editorials and personality driven programs, which explains Fox's higher average ratings.

Now to look at it from a popularity standpoint, the bottom line is the bottom line and the company that gets the most ad revenue is the one that's winning the ratings war. CNN is clearly winning that battle with Fox as they annually generate around $200 million a year more revenue than Fox and CNN's ad rates are around 40% higher than Fox.

Also, when it comes to key demographics CNN also clearly has the edge. There are essentially two kinds of advertisers. If your selling cold remedies, then your buying eyeballs. If your an image oriented product, say a BMW, A Lexus, an I-Phone then CNN is the clear winner in that demographic as CNN is light years ahead in objectivity and reporting compared to Fox's right wing propaganda driven programing.

Hell CNN even has an edge on Fox among conservatives which is Fox's core audience. A poll by the add agency Carat USA showed that in an average week 37% of viewers self identified as "very conservative" watched CNN where as only 32% watched Fox.

And that's just cable news! The differences are even more stark when you compare Fox to network news.

The O'Reilly factor is Fox's highest rated program receiving about 2 millions viewers a night where as the CBS evening news receives around 8 to 10 million viewer a night and among network news that is perceived as a ratings disaster. Fox's flagship news program "Special Report with Brit Hume" receives about 1 million viewers on a good night. That's a few thousand more than New York's local news broadcast on WNBC.

When you compare the viewers for all three major network news program to Fox's most highest rated program on any given night the ratings show that the combined viewer ship for network news is 20 to 25 times higher than Fox's highest rated program. Now when you consider that 4 out of 5 households have access to cable programing it becomes abundantly clear that the vast majority of people prefer objective news reporting and journalism over Fox's right wing Goebbelesque propaganda model.

You might as well beat your head up against the wall as try to explain statistics to these GED equivalents, eh Topper? I just gave a lengthy explanation about the difference between total average viewership and total cumulative viewershp and RSR posts a link to total average viewership ratings. Should I explain it to him again or just assume he's to stupid to understand?

Oh, my gosh...that really is SO exciting!

I mean, how can you contain yourself?

Clearly, the country is conservative again; that ol' election thing was such an anomoly, as are the large majorities in both houses of Congress.

TV ratings trump all!

I understand what you wrote and it was an interesting explanation. But what I can't figure out is; why would anyone care? What is all of the excitement about? Are news channels like sports teams now? I am clueless about this stuff. Do men sit around now with CNN or FOX News shirts and caps on backwards, and if CNN performs badly one night, they throw their CNN hats against the wall and scream about bad trades while the guy with the FOX news shirt screams 'WE'RE NUMBER ONE!"? Is there beer involved?

This is all very mysterious to me.

It hurts them even more that none of them will ever match the world championship winning BBC.

Nice man burn
 
It is fun watching liberals spin how their liberal outlets tank in the ratings (much like Obama's approval numbers) and try and deny how more people want more balance in their news
