In April, Fox News was the only cable news network to see growth.
For Monday-Sunday ratings, the number one rated news network was up two percent in primetime viewers and flat in the 25-54 demo compared to April 2014. In total day, FNC was down eight percent in the demo. April marked the network’s 160th month on top in viewers in total day and primetime.
“Outnumbered,” the afternoon chat show which airs at noon ET marked its one-year anniversary, up double digits compared to launch: up 24 percent in both total viewers and the demo.
CNN, which was previously surging, was down eight percent in primetime viewers and 10 percent in the primetime demo. During the day, the network was down five percent in viewers and three percent in the 25-54 demo.
MSNBC continued its trend of being down double digits, losing 16 percent in primetime viewers and 29 percent in the primetime demo. In total day, the network was down 12 percent in viewers and 27 percent in the demo. For the total day demo, HLN marked 11 months beating MSNBC.
The Freddie Gray riots in Baltimore, which started getting wall-to-wall coverage at length Monday night, didn’t factor into the April ratings.
