CNN earnings in detail

CNN earns an estimated $166K–$582K per month from YouTube ads, or $2M–$7M per year. The estimate is based on about 164.5M monthly long-form views and an RPM of $1–$3.5 per 1,000 views for Entertainment and vlogs (United States rates).

Shorts bring in about 62.6M more views a month. Shorts pay far less per view, so they are calculated with a separate, lower Shorts RPM and included in the total.

The channel uploads about 322.2 videos per month, so each new video brings in roughly $511–$1,790 from ads.

CNN has 19.8M subscribers, 21.6B total views and 187,030 videos.

The channel falls in the Entertainment and vlogs category, where advertiser demand sets the RPM. See Entertainment and vlogs RPM rates →

Sponsorships, memberships, Super Thanks, merchandise and other income are not included. The real total is often higher than ad revenue alone.

How we calculated
monthly = views × RPM ÷ 1,000 (+ Shorts views × Shorts RPM ÷ 1,000)
