To showcase those plans, CNN staged a 7 hour "climate town hall" during which they interviewed those Democrat wannabes. The Washington Examiner reports a comparison of the viewship CNN achieved during those 7 hours.
The town hall started at 5:00 p.m. and went until midnight on Wednesday. Fox News was in first place during the seven hour time slot, averaging 2.5 million viewers and MSNBC averaging 1.7 million viewers. CNN only averaged 1.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.No surprise. Ho-hum ratings suggest the climate isn't exactly what most people are obsessing about, not even young people who have the most to lose if the climate goes sideways.
For the 25-54 age demographic, Fox News also came in first with 418,000 viewers. CNN was in second with 265,000 viewers and MSNBC in third with 246,000.
During prime time, 8-11p.m., Fox News averaged 3.2 million viewers and MSNBC averaged 2.2 million viewers. CNN averaged 1.4 million viewers, but once again came in second for the age demo with 345,000 viewers. Fox News had 530,000 viewers and MSNBC had 315,000.
