Flight 370 and Ukraine Give Big Win to Fox News, Big Lift to CNN
Posted in: Uncategorized
The disappearance of Malaysia Flight 370 and the turmoil in Ukraine has boosted ratings for Fox News and CNN, leaving MSNBC trailing behind.
Fox News is leading the pack as usual, averaging 1.9 million total viewers in prime-time between March 8 and March 18. That’s up from 1.7 million in both the week prior to the plane’s disappearance, when Ukraine alone dominated the news, and the equivalent week a year prior.
Last week, Fox News was No. 1 in prime-time among not just cable news networks but all cable networks — a feat that typically only happens around major news events.
