Faux News and CNN Are Bleeding Viewers in Key Demo 25-54

[RamboLiberal]

In Key Demo 24-54 Faux is down -21% and CNN 23%. MSNBC is up +2%. Total Viewers Faux is down -4% and CNN -20% and MSNBC neither gained nor lost.



Lou Dobbs had the #2 show on CNN in April, and the #1 show among viewers in the 25-54 demo.

As this chart shows, Dobbs' demo audience has grown each month this year, narrowing the gap between CNN and FNC to only 22,000 viewers at 6 p.m. Brit Hume is still winning, barely.

Versus the same month a year ago, Dobbs has increased his total viewing audience from 559,000 to 817,000, and his demo audience from 157,000 to 211,000.

Looks like some viewers stopped drinking the Faux koolaid. These are the viewers advertisers covet.

1. I'm 58 and have never watched any CNN nor Faux News.

2. I'm 54 and I have

I'll watch CNN for developing stories (NOT Natalee Holloway or Duke lacrosse). Fox for entertainment if I'm really lit, and Olbermann on MSNBC for news with an anarchist bent, even if Keith does get a little obsessed with O'Reilly.

And of course there's Jon Stewart and Colbert.

But WAIT!!! I'll be 55 next month!! I'm OUT OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC!! I'm doomed...:cry:

3. Lou Dobbs, like him or not, has been doing a great job at revealing

the Bush Administration/Republican Party lies. He's very angry, I think he really believed that they'd be good for the country. And now he's very angry that he was lied to.

I like Lou, at least he does something about it when he sees something wrong.

4. Makes ya wonder what the point is when...

you look at the numbers for "American Idol."

CBS is worried because "Desperate Housewives" is down to only a miserable 20 million.

200,000, 300,000? Puts 'em behind Seinfeld reruns and most cooking shows. Maybe behind infomercials and Invicta Watch sales.

Cable news has gone for the personalities, and not news, and news personalities just aren't worth jack shit.
