FNC averaged 1.79 million viewers between 8-11 p.m. ET, behind only ESPN’s NFL-heavy content. TBS, USA and TNT join FNC and ESPN among the Top 5 prime time networks. Nickelodeon and Adult Swim are the only networks to surpass FNC in total day viewership.
CNN finished No. 22 in prime time and No. 20 in total day, while MSNBC ranked No. 26 in both categories. FNC, CNN and MSNBC all improved their position compared to last year and FNC becomes the first news network to ever finish among the Top 3 in basic cable.
CNN finished 2015 up +38 percent in prime time viewers and up +30 percent in prime time among the key A25-54 demo, compared to 2014. Last year the network saw a record low in total viewers, so the growth helps make CNN the fastest growing Top 40 cable network among the key demo. CNN’s prime time numbers were boosted by three presidential primary debates, which were among the most-watched programs in cable TV history. Despite the growth, CNN finished No. 22 overall among all basic cable networks during prime time.
