CNN Drops to Last Place Among Cable News Networks, even behind HLN for October

What does a network, who began the cable news “business”? Or the network that brought you such extensive coverage of BallonBoy, and fact checked a SNL skit about Obama? It gets you dead last in cable news ratings for the month of October, even behind their own sister network HLN (formerly Headline News.) Fox News of course destroyed every other cable “news” channel for the month. New York Times has the details:

CNN, which invented the cable news network more than two decades ago, will hit a new competitive low with its prime-time programs in October, finishing fourth – and last – among the cable news networks with the audience that all the networks rely on for their advertising.

The official monthly numbers will be finalized at 4 p.m. Monday and will include results from Friday. CNN executives conceded that will not change the competitive standing for the month. CNN will still be last in prime time.
