Video Game Streaming Site Twitch Surpasses CNN, MSNBC for January Viewers - Breitbart
Of course partisan hacks will say that this is a condemnation of the left wing media, but the fact that Fox News is only beating them by 500,000 viewers isn't exactly impressive.
Dot Esports reports that Twitch, the most popular video game streaming websites on the Internet, has surpassed news outlets CNN and MSNBC in the number of average daily viewers for the month of January. Twitch recorded approximately 962,000 concurrent viewers throughout the month of January 2018, a 22 percent increase from last year’s figures in January 2017 and a 26 percent increase since December 2017. In comparison, MSNBC averaged approximately 885,000 viewers for the month of January and CNN only recorded 783,000 daily viewers.
While Twitch has impressively beaten two major news organizations figures, they still fall short when compared to some of the largest cable networks in the United States. Both Fox News and ESPN beat Twitch’s figures by approximately 500,000 viewers. Fox News and ESPN both reported January viewership figures of around 1.5 million per day. Twitch is quite close however to beating the 1 million viewership figure and if the website continues to have the levels of growth seen over the past year it will reach that goal.
