BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – X owner Elon Musk declared “CNN is dying” this week during a social media spat with former host Don Lemon, fueling questions about whether the network’s yearslong struggle to attract viewers means it’s on life support.
CNN has been plagued by a series of leadership changes, scandals, layoffs and infighting that coincide with sagging viewership and numerous lineup adjustments.
In 2023, CNN had its lowest-rated year of all time, going back more than three decades, across multiple categories. Every show on CNN had a smaller audience than “The Andy Griffith Show”, “Jonny Quest”, “The Caskets and Urns Auctions”.
