Food Network Now Trouncing CNN in Ratings
Mia Cathell
CNN's post-election ratings continue to flail miserably following President-elect Donald Trump's triumph in the 2024 election.
And now, CNN can't "Beat Bobby Flay."
Viewers would rather watch "Guy's Grocery Games" than "Anderson Cooper 360," according to the latest TV ratings.
Last week, CNN finished No. 17 among cable stations during primetime programming hours, losing additionally to Hallmark's campy Christmas movies, house-hunting escapades on HGTV, and even the History Channel.
In fact, CNN's small audience was outsized by those tuning into TBS, TLC, TNT, and Freeform, respectively, among others.
Apparently, the jam-packed news cycle, which included the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his assassin, Trump selecting more Cabinet picks at breakneck speed, and the fallout from President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter, couldn't help CNN reel in viewers.
