CNN wins Favorite News Network in Channel Guide’s 2012 Viewer’s Voice Awards

In this election year — and at a time when much of the rest of the world is in a state of upheaval (politically, financially or ecologically) — the news networks remain a source of information for many people.

It’s hard to say what separates one news network from the rest, aside from the (perhaps) perceived political bias of one versus the other, but regardless, it’s good to be reminded that there’s still an audience for actual “reality” television.

Favorite News Network — Winner: CNN

CNN 35%
FOX News Channel 34%
MSNBC 19%
CNBC 6%
HLN 6%
Current 3%

Percentages may not total 100 due to rounding.
