CNN Beats Fox News, MSNBC on Breaking Coverage of NYC Bomb
CNN finished behind Fox News and MSNBC in most measurables last week, but Saturday’s coverage of the New York City bomb blast proves that viewers still head to CNN for breaking news.
Viewers stuck with CNN’s coverage, which was anchored by Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow, as the network also won the 11 p.m. ET hour by averaging 1.33 million total viewers and 453,000 in the demo.
The breaking news coverage victory is significant for CNN, as the network has battled MSNBC for second place behind Fox News since winning the primetime demo for the entire month of July.
New York captured the attention of American TV viewers on Saturday night when a bomb exploded in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, injuring 29 people.
