    Cable News Ratings for Wednesday, July 21, 2010.

    I was just reading about Campbell Brown giving up her CNN 8.00pm slot and that made me wonder what the ratings were like for TV News. I discovered this list...

    CNBC – 162,000 viewers

    And finally for the previous weekend they were...

    P2+ Total Day
    FNC – 650,000 viewers
    CNN – 441,000 viewers
    MSNBC – 362,000 viewers
    CNBC – 166,000 viewers
    HLN –243,000 viewers

    P2+ Prime Time
    FNC –954,000 viewers
    CNN — 453,000 viewers

    CNBC – 215,000 viewers
    HLN – 198,000 viewers

    I can't help thinking these numbers are very low indeed given the total popultion of North America. I mean there are many web sites that get more visitoirs.

    I guess FNC is Fox News but I was surprised that CNN is so far down on the ratings.

    Must do some more checking on this and compare to news ratings in other countries.
