CNN faces a historic ratings slump, recording its lowest viewership in 24 years. On November 11, the network attracted just 61,000 viewers in the key 25-54 demographic, its weakest Tuesday audience since 2000. Daytime programming also hit a decade low, averaging only 60,000 viewers between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

As streaming platforms and social media dominate the media landscape, CNN struggles to retain its audience. With these challenges, fears of mass layoffs loom, signaling a tough road ahead for the once-dominant cable news network.
