Struggling CNN dropped into fourth place behind Newsmax for prime time viewership ratings last Friday night, the slump following a rare climb to the top driven by Donald Trump’s town hall appearance.
Forbes reports CNN could only garner an average total audience of 335,000 viewers, trailing behind Newsmax’s 357,000 viewers during the evening.
Fox News finished first in prime with 1.44 million viewers, and MSNBC was second overall with 1.084 million viewers.

[That’s only one day, but … still. CNN trailed Newsmax all night long on Friday, Forbes notes, although they did get to third in the key target demo (25-54YOs). Fox led each hour, but didn’t exactly dominate; MSNBC was a solid second all night long. If I were at Fox, I’d be worried about the trendline too. — Ed]
