For CNBC, 2014 Was The Worst. Year. Ever.
Another year of putting lipstick on the zombie known as the global economy, kept walking only thanks to $11 trillion in liquidity injections by the world's central banks and tens of trillions of new Chinese credit created out of thin air and promptly misallocated and embezzled, and the results are in. The bottom line: according to Nielsen, is that despite the S&P recording a whopping 53 all time highs, and the Dow rising over 18,000, the channel that was once must watch financial TV for mom and pop, and has since devolved into endless cheerleading of failed policies and rigged markets, namely CNBC, just suffered its worst year in, well, ever.
But don't worry: the "retail investor" who has now fully given up on the "market", will surely be back this year, and with it CNBC's ratings.
In the meantime, here are the facts:
- CNBC's Total Business Day segment (M-F 9:30a-5p), just delivered its lowest rated year since 1995 with P2+ and delivered its lowest rated year ever since 1992 with the 25-54 demographic
Program Highlights 2014
- Squawk Box delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Squawk on the Street delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Fast Money/Halftime Report delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Power Lunch delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Street Signs delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Closing Bell (3p-5p) delivered its lowest rated year ever with both total viewers and the 25-54 demo
- Fast Money delivered its lowest rated year ever with total viewers and its 2nd lowest rated year ever with the 25-54 demo (lowest rated year ever is 2013)
- Mad Money delivered its 2nd lowest rated year ever with total viewers (lowest rated year is 2013) and its lowest rated year ever with the 25-54 demo
Finally, one wonders if without the Fed and other central banks, the real S&P500 wouldn't look like the chart of CNBC's Nielsen ratings...
How ironic, then, that another market crash is precisely what CNBC needs to regain its audience before it slides into complete oblivion (by both viewers and advertisers).

Yup, or invert the chart above and it would match the DOW and S&P.
Perhaps if the Corporate Media told the truth, they would have listeners. Now they only have presstitutes that continue to spew propaganda.
Noticed that they are shutting down their facility in NJ and moving Squawk Box to NYSE, probably to save money. What they need is a head count cut. They could start with the new 90 day blonde wonders they got to replace Trish and Melissa.
Because of the work I do I alwas have something on in the background. 2 or 3 times a day they used to have something good on, a very low signal to noise ratio to be sure. But in addition to the fact that Jeff Immelt once had the editors (dont know if that is the right title, probably not) call the staff in to tell them to stop criticizing the President, I read that they called Melissa Francis in to tell her to stop talking shit about Obozocare. Since I read that story I have not put CNBC on since. Now I just have Bloomberg on which is nearly as bad as I absolutely hate Mike "New York Needs me So I Will Change The Law To Allow a Third Term" Bloomberg, especially for his anti gun crusade.
They trot out every junior wannabe stockbroker to repeat the agenda narrative, and we believe they should care about ratings? I don't think so.
The dirty secret, which most have trouble comprehending, is that broadcast and network channels don't need ratings to survive. All of them live off government bribes through corporate and government handouts, and personal payoffs, and their job is not to garner audience. Their job is to set the narrative. They are paid to perpetuate the agenda. Their reporting is done not for audience but for each other, so as to have some other entitiy as 'source.' PBS is the prime example of places socialist dogma go to die. All nets profit handsomely during election cycles every two years, with the lapdogs lapping up most of the government gravy. Explain CNNs birdcage bottom numbers while CNN stays in business. MSNBC ditto. The explanation is ratings numbers don't matter.
PBS with 1.2 billion in taxpayer funds (US and UK) wants to thank viewers like you, and especially wants to thank suckers like you. If I had 1.2B, I could do a helluva lot better than Downton Abbey and rewrites of Christian history.
But what would we do without Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room?
Top of my Bucket List would be to kick him in the nuts and smash his face...
Funded with free fiat from the frauds at the FED.
Even at their worst they probably make tonns more money than ZH. Lies are profitable, truth is cheap.
Everybody's used to spam by now, yet messages keep filling the inbox, because even if out of a thousand people 1 accidentally does what the spam wants, it was worth it for the spammer. Opportunity cost is zero. Production of propaganda is also much cheaper than meaningful action. Correcting economy is hard. Putting on a happy show requires much less effort.
Mainstream media is corporate spam, and who cares if hardly anyone watches it. If just a couple of people buy into the lie - it was worth the investment... and also, the shows don't actually have to deliver results. Those who pay the bills simply have to believe that the program is working. TV shows lie to viewers and they lie to their own producers.
The "C" in "CNBC" is for complicit.
Just another outlet of the complicit-media.
The banksters need to repay us.
Based on chart,viewership seems to peak after market collapses...looks like a rise in viewership is just around the corner.
Perma Bull all the time every time for over 30 years; seriously, sheeple still listen to this shit?
www.traderzoo.mobi
CNBC, CBBC, similar audience.
Viewers of CBBC are smarters because majority of them will choose gold rather than fiat currency. There was a well known experiment done on kids to see which they picked between gold and paper money.
Although not a fan of CNBC....I think if that was a stock chart.....I would be a buyer....just sayin'
I f I would own CNBC I would consider changing the team. Nobody does that. Must be a goooood reason for that.....
Am I the only one that truly believes that they are just another name for PBS????? Guarantee they get funding from the Feds.....
I suggest sending a Congrats email....they love those.
sots@cnbc.com
Only brokerages have that crap channel on because it's full of cheerleaders.
They have the sound off. So Steve Lies-man can talk all he wants.
The only thing usable on the is the market ticker.
They might as well have Sesame Street playing on the top and the ticker on the bottom so the kiddies and adults can watch the same channel.
who needs their insight? the market only goes up,right?
People just get tired of listening to same bullshit lies from the same pie holes day after day, Cramer or that limey Hobbs who makes me think of Piers Morgan.
CNBC gained an audience in 08 during the crisis, but that same audience has realized that it's all just pump and no truth.
You mean Cramer tells fibs?!? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!!!!!
There is a serious disconnect between the old and the new generation. When young people started getting rich off social media, it created a new set of role models. The old carrot on a stick tactic relied on dangling dinosaur photos in front of investors (Buffet, Soros, Gates etc.) hoping that they dedicate their lives and spend their money, hoping to end up like those folks - old, rich on a boat from A to B. The old capitalist motto: "whoever has the most money when he dies is the winner".
But all of the sudden, kids discover that attention and credibility are much more valuable in the internet age and that younger people tend to collect audiences much easier than old people. One no longer has to wait till 60 to get something out of life. Life begins as early as you want it and you don't need middle men to get it going.
Old model wanted you to work, save and gamble it all away. New model presents "opportunity cost - zero". Sure, one might fail and most do, but it costs nothing to try. Nobody gets rich off someone else's failure.
It's a crisis - a catastrophy of astronomic proportions for every old power structure. It's a problem for banks, for television, for figures of authority - the fact that the old tricks don't work with the new crowd.
Behind the scense, supercomputers are number crunching and data-gathering, trying to figure out what makes the neo-dividual tick. What makes things go viral and how to manufacture and mass produce the magic.
Meanwhile, the old media is lagging behind. There used to be the days when people online talked about what they saw on television. Now every news outlet reports what originates online. Talk show hosts invite internet celebrities. They no longer generate any content.
I love Alexander Bard's observation. He says: "when a weather man looks at his cell phone to check the forecast, prior to stepping in front of the camera - he's no longer an expert on the subject. His cell phone is the expert. Every human from now on, may as well be perceived as a cell phone with a buch of fat, muscle and nerve tissue wrapped around it."
The age of a human "expert" is over, and along with it the television is dead.
I like what you said.
Personally I think my generation and those behind me... see older white haired guys that never taught us the business. Some of our Fathers or mothers were very smart corporate people, but could not give up the anger or the Authority to let us in on the way things work.
News papers are the same way. Even if you read New York Times or WSJ... there is a slant. Like the NYT Slant for Iraqi War. Or WSJ crazy editorials that are pro-war, pro-Military, pro-Republican Neo-con.
In effect there was an Integrity problem with our older men, our media, and with our Government Propaganda & talking points.
Integrity is felt, seen, heard, intuited, and just put together through thinking or interaction. USA lost this when I lies us into war, covers up big campaign contributors, has exponential growth in Lobbying & Campaign Contributions, Federal Budget goes Exponential in Growth, Derivatives are exponential and hidden shadow banking growth...
Blame the new Generations? No, blame the older guys that are so greedy that they give up humanity and family and community so they can keep power and look like a big shot.
I'm talking about the Senate and House here also.
Two words: Maria's nipples.
Goldman Sachs propaganda against the United States of America.
Arrest Loyd Blankfein.
If they lose their jobs, I won't shed a tear.
This is reporting in a half-assed way.
Zerohedge should be matcing and comparing the performance and ratings of Bloomberg TV with those of CNBC. If Bloomberg's relative performance is the same as CNBC, then it's is just the market and the state of the targeted viewer which are the issues. If Bloomberg has done better, than the problem lies within CNBC.
Bloomberg and CNBC are both half-assed media. So your hypothesis doesn't serve the purpose. Perhaps, comparing to RT.
So you're trading two propaganda networks for yet another. Oh please, bitch.
Bear Sterns is fine!
Easy to explain. ZH just took all CNBCs viewers!
Communist News BS Channel
MSNBC isn't doing well either. Doesn't bode well for Democrats in the near term.
MS-DNC - the Obama Channel
"Bloomberg's"
Make the channel r-rated and all naked female finaincial reporters well endowed.
Call it Bosomberg. Watch the ratings soar.
fear sells
Well as terrible as CNBC is they somehow do manage to get one of the best blogs with some of the smartest people around to talk about them over and over. Who was it that said "I don't care what you print about me, just spell my name right."
My 2015 resolution is never to say or think CNBC or MSM again.
How about it ZH?
F'n fantastic, and hey buddy Cramer, you eat shit as the #1 CNBC Hopium idiot!
I'd like so much to smash a guitar over Joe Kernans flabby, Wall St. ball-licking back.
It’s all about ratings. So, I’m looking forward to the following segments this year:
- Cramer tatoos his top five stock picks for 2015 on Kim Kardashians ass.
- Taylor Swift sings “Shake It Off” to managers of the five biggest hedge fund losers in 2014.
- If all else fails, there is always the topless episode, including a special return guest appearance by Maria Bartiromo.
I quit watching when Trish left. She was yummy.
Nice eyes on that one.
Would love to do a Fargo snowblower on Kramer and Scarborough. And go ahead and add tinkle down your leg Matthews and Bullhorn Sharpton.
If you want to laugh your ass off, I give you "Barack the Magic Negro"
Sung by Al Sharpton. This song never gets old.

When the stock markets are closed because of panic selling, I'm sure lots will be watching CNBC...
I watch CNBC like I watched the Koresh standoff years ago. They televised it live, but most days it was just a bunch of people doing not much of anything. I'd check in during the day...
Then one day it all went bad, quickly. I'm waiting for that day with these markets...Funny how "Janets" were both heavily involved...
Let's hope it doesn't get that bad: the government prevents anyone from leaving by shooting at them while they burn the place to the ground intentionally killing innocent American children just because their parents were a bit looney.
That's what happens when you insult the intelligence of your audience.
CNBC's ratings will improve as soon as they fire Joe Kernan for lack of maturity, that Brian character for being a walking ego and MCC just for being so deeply ignorant, in that order of obnoxiousness. And, as so many have commented, CNBC needs to order, yes order, their talking heads to immediately stop interrupting guests when the guest is making his/her point. Hey CNBC, in English, points come at the END of sentences. Your few remaing viewers tuned in to hear your guests, not your talking heads! Fire any talking head whose ego is so out of control that they can't stop interrupting the guest.
CNBC doesn't care about viewership. Their mission is PROPAGANDA, not profits! They're part of the Propaganda Press!
I will flik it on for a few seconds when I get up to catch the futures. Getting a glance of Becky on arising and the latest "improvements" she's made on herself is a depressing way to start the day.
Anyone know if Lies man is paid by the channel or the FED? I notice he gets the best seat in the house when the FED has a press conference.
I thought Leisure Suit Barry gave them a grant, or at least some funding.

As for the msm. We know they are but the mouthpiece of the real powers. Manipulation is the game. A means to an end. So why tune them out when the message has ulterior motive? The educated among us can see where this shit show Iis headed. These powers want us to absorb and react to the narrative as our actions are necessary to advance their agenda. And agenda is becoming all but self evident. So I suggest that we keep our enemies close and listen. What we must be (told) to believe and the timeframe given to act on those beliefs will hold clues as to how the collapse will generally unfold. The sheep must be sheared before running them over the cliff. But the path must be set forth and followed. By the script.
The mindset of the enemy is that of a narcisistic sociopath. He believes himself superior to all others and is becoming bolder in action. This self serving superiority complex. The fact that they dont give a shit what we think about them because they are in control may well be their undoing. So I say listen but consider the source and its true objective. The abilty to decipher intent may be a key element in exercising the right of timely self defence.
MSNBC is just as bad... actually far worse... what a cast of sewer maggots... especially Hairy-Perry, stone racist... MelonHead Sharpton... who has whites thinking slavery wasn't so bad after all... Fat Pig Ed and Lawerence thin-hair bonesmoker... stone liars and Obongo propagandists all. BullDyke Maddow is the best of them all... and she is ghastly.
With commodity stawks plunging down off the charts and the housing market in some serious stall over 90 million merikans out of work and record high EBT and Section 8'ers, it's hard to believe anyone would think there's some sort of broad recovery.
Sorry to say but most people I know are very pessimistic and/or depressed about their job future and the economy and most of them are Middle Class with grad degrees in engineering or science.
Just think what the ratings would be if ZeroHedge stopped
giving CNBC free publicity by reporting this kind of crap
www.nakednews.com where nude beautiful newscasters has more credible and honest news than cnbc and msnbc. How sad is that.
I bet you used to buy Playboy for the articles too.
Well, they were uplifting.
Several months ago, I had a television installed in my office bathroom.
The technician set the television station to CNBC. I believed this was meant to be, so I never changed the channel.
I find it very relaxing and most helpful to take my daily growler while watching and listening to these fucktards.
Highly recommended.
I find it very relaxing and most helpful to take my daily growler while watching and listening to these fucktards.
Bwahaha! Goddamn, I laughed out loud
The mainstream media is loosing its grip on people because people are getting better informed and more interested in their own fate.
More invested in their own future.
BNN in Canada often have gold/silver analysts on that don't get laughed off the stage. Online monthly viewing only around $7 bucks I believe. Much more coverage on oil/other commodities. I watch BNN significantly more than CNBC. Most who follow the metals have for years.
Stateside.
Implode into a pit of hell.
Writing my annual Year-end note to clients was more difficult this year than any other year in 37 years. Clients all know these are phony markets but being correct about fraudulent, manipulated markets doesn't matter when you look at the portfolio P&L's for 2014. Gold and silver should have been higher and equities should have been lower, based upon fundamentals, money printing, and risk, but they weren't - period. The Society of Financial Philosophers lost out big-time to the NY boys doing "God's work" but then again, if we had the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government in our back pockets, we would have had terrific years as well.
I don't understand why you were "downvoted"
Your thoughts and ideas were very succinct. The whimps are trolling, I guess?
He's fine. They just can't stop piss pounding on the gold and silver markets can they? Such small markets of limited goods. Why do they care so much about it? Because we are the honest money people?
I can only imagine it must be a bitch being an honest person managing other peoples money theses days.
i have good, bad news, anything with nbc in it's name will be on air until at least 2017, probably longer.
the deal immelt, and Obama made, provided $139b. available to ge. from the fdic, and the fed., by letting ge into banking bailout, ge had on small s&l in Utah, so it made them eligible, (please look this up, this burns me and hope I'm correct).
just happened ge. had $81b. of long term debt maturing in 2009, that $139b coming, probably made a few cronies millions, and a promise to keep nbc, and all affiliates on air, and in full propaganda mode.
General Electric no longer owns NBC. Parent corporation is Comcast.
"General Electric no longer owns NBC. Parent corporation is Comcast. "
ceo of ge was neck deep with obuma until heat of public pressure caused GE to feel economic pain..
comcast is (much like google) NSA- they control info to millions of american sheep..
no empire can allow information to be free of .gov agenda. no empire will allow it.
do we live in an elite run oligarchy..many of us think so, do you?
They need to get rid of Becky Slow and any male douche bag with 3 names ( that's you Andy Ross)
I tune in to CNBC for their technical analysis. In 2014 I learned that since corporations aren't people (don't tell SC), they can continue their business for an infinite number of years which means they can earn revenue for an infinite number of years, Thus, unless the stock price of a corporation is priced at 10 times infinity plus 1 it is always right to buy buy buy.
The President of NBCs brother works for Obama. Maybe the problem with the rating is the leaderships leftist views.
RU nuts? NOTHING leftist about CNBS....
Rick Santilli and market reports are the only ones worth watching. Basically it is a market info commercial site. They troll out people that will only talk positive about the market. Watch BNN in Canada and they are completly different. They approach the market as well as their guests from a factual point of view and none of type of pumping from CNBC.
I am truly happy for them!
1% don't need to watch CNBS when they are making money, hand over fist, day in and out and the other 99% just don't have the money or, as in many cases, thanks to CNBS, have it (money, that is) any longer.
There is no stopping the rush to seek truth. It is so natural and quite unlike the bovine excrement the world has been pouring over their post toasties every morning. Skip the delusions and illusions, just get to the real! There is NO TIME for the bard farffle baloney antics of corruption and addictacriminality any moar!
It is time for a more robust coffee cup of news in the morning. Something substantial, and truly informative. It has been a long strange trip to get even this many crew on board to awaken, and the time of mass awareness in one hundredth monkey style is on the edge of time. Those who stand in front of the fast moving wave to cleanse the unholy houses of muckity evil will fall fast and disappear like a buffalo fart in a wind storm.
The very best true news presentation in the world!

(Hey family over at RT, please extend this good mans show to an hour. Thankx!)
The call goes out to all conscious hearts to get off the ticker tape Chairs, and get jiggity doing something to lessen the impact of what may, or may not unfold. Family and community are what will save the earth ship. We are all One, after all.
As everybody knows, it is only a matter of time before we all see another distraction from the real evil asshats to save their god-money, and the rothschillian master slavers. What are they up to behind the scenes? Escape is prolly at the top of the honey-do list.
Muppets not buying this time.
the obvious solution to their dilemma is to actually engage in real journalism. telling the truth is radical behavior and may be considered ttttuuuuurrrrriiiiissssmmmm under some law no one knows about(ndaa, patriot act or just because someone in the justice department says so). will they engage in ttttuuuuurrrriiiissssmmm or will they close up shop?

I/C good ideas
What we need is a market crash to get viewership back up.
Here are CBC's economic advisors doing a year in review. THey describe the US recovery as "just in the knick of time" what do you all think?
http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/TV+Shows/The+National/ID/2645388685/
Did you know cnbc gives stock information to its viewers and based on the viewer/price per quote ratio, cnbcers have made 753% more money than Zero hedgers did in 2014 who followed the advice of pseudo names masquerading as actual people "On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." Cheers to 15, have a few on me...make sure to drink enough to never have the sense to question this philosophy (the same one in place since 2009). Zero Hedge Outdated since 2014
I guess that means the market is not in a bubble or maybe it just means television is becoming less relevant.
If you want to understand why CNBS is crashing, watch this interview with Kernen (towards bottom of the page)
http://www.cps-news.com/2012/10/03/cnbcs-becky-quick-nearly-gave-joe-ker...
joe.kernen@nbcuni.com
Time to bring back short skirts, low camera angles, and the mute button.
What's CNBC?
Never heard of it.
Stared by Kennan Ivory Wayans, Dwayne Wayans, and Adam Sandler...
sometimes referred to as CNBS
Off with their talking heads!
Its crony capitalism, right? CNBC seems to have a monopoly over the Cable/Satellite Segment of the Market on Financial News.
Put capitalism back into it.
dble post
Since all the CNBC babes are gone.. the only person worth watching on CNBCrap is Rick Santelli... and that's not saying much..
hope the trend will hold on thru 2015 as well.
Who the fuck watches TV anymore?
Only technologically challenged fuckwits that are lifestyle-tethered to their shit-boxes actually enjoy that stuff. Once you geezers die off, "television" as we know it will go extinct.
Unless they get some low-class, uncultured demographics to prop them up for a couple more decades.
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"
Here's what they'll start showing in between 'advice'. And knowing the average American, the ratings will go through the roof
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_4jrMwvZ2A
Talking heads on MSM stations cheer-leaded and paraded the country into the housing bubble for the slaughter, now they are trying to cheer-lead the country into the stock market bubble for the slaughter.
Confused 1ST POINT: it took me a minute to understand that you were talking about CNBS Sockpuppet central thought CNBS name was official
2ND POINT: is this a BTFD or black swan/flag? Tyler FIRST RULE OF THE FIGHT CLUB
Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man Lies man
Wrestlemania is more closely aligned with reality than CNBC is.
Now that they have surrendered the station to endless stretches of Cramer and Liesman, that channel is simply unwatchable. They ought to replace everyone with a random opinion generator. I am sure the on-air talent would approve. They are already sold on the idea that there is no place for human beings in the trading part of investing so why would they have a problem with automating the "reporting" part?
When I look at various media to see how they report some of the things I know for certain from direct personal experience, I have come to see---especially in the last two years---that the MSM is far and away more accurate than the Doomer internet blogs. The fact that some of the MSM may have a declining audience (according to whom?) and that some Doomer sites claim their own ‘click level’ is being reported inaccurately, is in itself as meaningless as saying Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus are better singers than Frank Sinatra or Kathleen Battle because the former get more iTune downloads.
A few decades ago a now-discredited market prognosticator (Bob Prechter) wrote a pamphlet about what social trends he anticipated in the years to come. PTJ (a well-known HF manager) made some comments, after reading Prechter, that echoed what Prechter had said. While Prechter got the markets dead wrong, his (and PTJ's) social trend predictions have been eerily prescient. In addition to saying that FIRE types, especially Jewish ones, would be blamed for any and all of society’s problems, Prechter predicted a new Dark Ages, characterized by increased belief in superstition and bizarre and illogical conspiracy theories, claiming such things would fill a human need for explanations---any explanation---just to allow people to believe all was not random, and that the masses, individually, were not at fault in any way for their own shortcomings.
Bingo!
Some who are going, going, gone off grid and far from the madding crowds are doing it not only to be distant from Fuld and Cassano, but even more to be far from YOU. As one who has personally witnessed the madness of crowds and how innocents are the main (only?) victims, I know that sheeple come in many varieties.
Baaaaa!
"just to allow people to believe all was not random, and that the masses, individually, were not at fault in any way for their own shortcomings."
chindit what responsibility is yours for this mess of a western world?I dare say you will claim innosense.
I am in the Carlin club of" Its a big club and your not in it"
You're getting to much sun. It's starting to fry your brain.
Turned on CNBC for a laugh.
Started counting the lies and couldn't keep up.
Seems you can't untake the red pill.
women have been known to drag men back into the matrix.
pussy is a powerful weapon.
The red dress. Don't look back.
What is CNBC? Isn't that the place two people go to talk to themselves about daily events?
A long line of guests striving to make that first great "call" in a row
The year is off to a great start.

Looks like the Chart of CNN when FOX News was born lol
So I'm guessing in 5 years FOX Business will be #1
When I want to see Cheerleaders, I watch ESPN. NOT CNBC!
