CNN Records Lowest Primetime Ratings Since 1991

The network's viewership struggles despite major news events and a revamped lineup under new leadership.

CNN averaged 83,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic during primetime for the week of May 13-19.
Total viewership for the week stood at 494,000, significantly trailing behind Fox News and MSNBC.
Fox News led with 186,000 viewers in the 25-54 demographic, followed by MSNBC with 111,000.
CNN's new CEO, Mark Thompson, faces criticism for not making substantial changes to boost ratings.
Despite low numbers, CNN claims year-over-year growth in its primetime viewership.
