Recent data indicates that the median age of viewers for major cable news networks—FOX News, CNN, and MSNBC—is indeed trending older, with figures hovering around or slightly below 70 years old. According to a 2023 report from the Los Angeles Times, the median age of CNN’s audience was 67, FOX News viewers had a median age of 68, and MSNBC viewers topped the list at 71. These numbers reflect a broader trend in cable news consumption, where the audience skews significantly toward older demographics, particularly those over 60.
This aging viewership aligns with shifts in media habits, as younger generations increasingly turn to digital platforms and streaming services for news, leaving traditional cable TV as a domain largely occupied by older adults. While the median ages may not hit exactly 70 across the board, they are close enough to support the general claim that these networks’ audiences are predominantly in that age range. The slight variations—67 for CNN, 68 for FOX, and 71 for MSNBC—still paint a picture of a viewership that’s well past middle age, highlighting the challenges these networks face as cord-cutting and alternative media continue to rise.

The only space left that tells boomers the world is all about them
Ironically, their delusion gives them more influence than others who just give up, even though they have little power to make actual changes to the system.
