Fox News led the April cable news ratings which is not really a surprise.

But, Fox was also the only cable news station to see its viewership increase over last year.

According to Nielsen, Fox News averaged 1.52 million total viewers during the month, up 25% compared to the same month in 2021, compared to 668,000 for MSNBC, down 30%, and 582,000 for CNN, off by 26%. In the adults 25-54 demo, Fox News averaged 248,000, up 16%, compared to 132,000 for CNN, down 35%, and 75,000 for MSNBC, down 46%.

April was a very bad month for CNN. They lost viewers and the plug was pulled on CNN+ just weeks after it launched.

As the May book kicks off and Chris Licht joins CNN as the leader, maybe the network can start turning things around?

Licht certainly has his work cut out for himself.
