CNN is continuing its downward slump in the ratings, as it was overtaken by the Food Network and History Channel last week.
The cable news network struggled to gain momentum despite a busy news cycle that comprised the point-blank assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his killer, news related to President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks and a rebel group gaining ground in Syria.
Its primetime shows, Anderson Cooper 360, The Source with Kaitlan Collins and CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip only averaged 367,000 viewers for the week, Fox News reports.
By comparison, Fox News Channel averaged 2.5million total primetime viewers.
CNN's audience was also smaller than TNT, Food Network, Discovery, Hallmark Mysteries, TLC, TBS, History, HGTV, USA, MSNBC, the Hallmark Channel and ESPN.
The network fared even worse among the 25 to 54-year-old demographic, which advertisers weigh heavily.
It received a measly 67,000 viewers in the category, finishing behind networks like TV Land, MTV and Comedy Central.
The statistics spell trouble for the legacy network, which has been on a downward spiral since its presidential election coverage.
