Collapsing: Channel One News loses another 500,000 student viewers.

October 2, 2012

 Channel One News is quickly disappearing from classrooms.

 

There are a lot of tears nowadays at Channel One News. 
Plummeting audience numbers means shrinking ad revenue.
Shrinking ad revenue of course means… oh no, there go the tears again.

 

A 9.0% loss of audience follows 2011’s loss of 8.3%.

For the last two years (730 days), Channel One News has lost on average 1,300 student viewers PER DAY. 

 

From Jim Metrock:

Schools are dumping Channel One News at an ever increasing pace.

In 2010, Channel One admitted to a audience of “nearly 6 million” students. That figure represented a loss of over 2 million students from the peak of “over 8 million” in 1999/2000.

Since 2010, Channel One has lost an additional 1,000,000 students. Today, October 2, 2012, Channel One is claiming they have “nearly 5 million” remaining in their classroom audience.  “Nearly 5 million” means they have 4 million-something under contract.
