2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Poll: Romney's advantage among older Americans is crumbling [View all]KurtNYC
(14,549 posts)11. the demo for Fox News is the oldest audience in cable TV
The network's average viewer last season (2009) was 65 years old, according to Nielsen. Heck, it's viewers are even older than viewers of Hallmark Channel, Military Channel and Golf Channel.
...
CNN wasn't far behind, though -- its average audience was 63. MSNBC was a perky 59. CNBC is the young turk at 52.
The youngest fully distributed cable channel? Oxygen. Followed by Bravo and, weirdly, VH1 Classic, then Travel and TLC -- all averaging about 42 years old.

As an elder progressive, I don't find what either of them posted to be offensive.
