CNN should be proud of their coverage last night. The coverage during the DNC led by Wolf and Anderson was really good - best I have seen in a while. CNN has earned some bragging rights but make no mistake, there are some bad signs in their ratings numbers. They lost considerable market share from 2008 audience. While CNN dropped a third of their audience, MSNBC gained nearly 50% from 2008 Conventions. CNN is losing its edge, even in the big stories like the RNC and DNC. Even during hurricane Isaac, CNN lost out to the Weather Channel. When is CNN going to roll out some of these new shows they keep talking about? Are they rethinking using Erin Burnett as a "big player" in election coverage considering her demotion in her role from RNC to DNC (hopefully)? Where is the new 11pm show I hear about? Any changes to Starting Point?
CONGRATULATIONS CNN!!!
3:29PM is exacty right in their analysis of CNN's situation.
MSNBC is coming up strong right behind them for the DNC and Fox News still came in #1 in over all cable coverage for both events.
It is no surprise that younger viewers would tune in to CNN to listen to the POTUS and Bill Clinton.
They both still are appealing to the younger generation.
BUT, it is the older generation that VOTES.
This brings an all new meaning to "America's Choice 2012". Good job CNN!
