Fox News Needs Trump More Than CNN Does

“The news channels have always seen their revenue driven by major news events, many of which are unplanned, but elections are an exception because they are predictable,” Baine says. “This year, the cast of characters is very interesting and I think that there is a lot of interest from the general public in the debates and the upcoming elections.”

It is possible that Trump’s absence from the latest Fox News debate could not deter viewers who have a broader interest in the election, predicts Glenn Hower, a research analyst at Parks Associates market research firm.
