Tv viewers continued to trade out of CNBC in August.

The business news cable network posted some of its worst ratings in 20 years this month — attracting an average of just 37,000 viewers aged 25 to 54 over a 24-hour period, according to just-released ratings data.

That’s down 35 percent from a year ago, according to Nielsen, and the Comcast-owned network’s worst performance in the key advertiser demo since April 1993.

... Rival Fox Business Network drew an average of 10,000 viewers an hour in the same key demo. It also saw viewership declines.

1. People have wised up and see the markets are rigged

Wall St greed has finally hit the limits of people's patience.

3. That...and also: Who of the 99% has any money after the Dot Com Breakdown

and the Financial/Bank Screwing of us in 2007-09?

Can't make any money if you SAVE...and can't make any money if one works.

Remember we are a GLOBAL ECONOMY...(meaning Jobs Sucked out to Emerging Markets)...so we are "GLOBAL SLAVES"....so who gives a shit about CNBC/FOX BUSINESS...if you aren't the 1% or WANNABE?

They are DEAD because they can't SUCK IN SUCKERS because the SUCKERS don't have any money, anymore....

Just wait until Penny Pritzger, Larry Summers and Obama's Team does the TPP and the Euro Deal!

Won't be much left..of even scraps for us dogs and cats and our own. We've eaten the scraps and been HAPPY! Why shouldn't they reduce it to RATIONS of crumbs not fit to eat.

8. I'll bet the majority of those 37,000 25 to 54 year olds......

are retail stock brokers who have no choice because the firm they work for requires they have it on.

Minimized in the corner of one of their 3 screens.

9. Misread

I misread your title the first time through. I thought that it said that the average age of Fox Business viewers was 10,000. That sounded about right to me.
