In France, after having increased their ratings for a bit, especially due to the pandemic, right-wing opinion channel CNEWS has hit a glass ceiling and has stagnated for a bit already.
People got bored after a while. Ratings were already noticeably lower on weekends than on weekdays and on days the weather was nice outdoors. A lot less stable of a viewerbase than the traditional news channels.
GBNews would've been a bigger success had it launched during lockdown. Now, the only question is when the viewer growth will stop and the channel with start stagnating. People get bored of listening to opinion 24/7, even if it is something they agree with.
Separately, I, and a lot of the French TV forum members, are always surprised when seeing such low news channel ratings in the UK (though France has exceptionally higher news channel ratings at around 8% of total audience share!)
