CNN is also well ahead of business news brands such as Bloomberg (15 per cent reach) and dominant leadership positionCNBC (14 per cent).

A separate study released today – The Ipsos Affluent Survey Asia Pacific – shows CNN’s continued leadership in that region with 36 per cent monthly reach via TV and digital**. This is well ahead of the BBC (27 per cent reach), Bloomberg (17 per cent), Time (17 per cent) and CNBC (16 per cent). CNN’s performance in Asia Pacific compares to a 35 per cent reach for the same period in 2015, with growth driven by an 18 per cent increase in digital reach.
