They have changed all of that at Nielson because of services like Hulu and other streaming services.
It started up last July and it's called "Out Of Home" measurement. And it DOES include airports.

And yes...if you have been in any airport in the United States in the "secure" area waiting on a plane...CNN is on every television screen.
The thought when they first did this was that travelers would want to be able to see the news while waiting on their plane...but now CNN is mostly a 24 hour a day anti-Trump propaganda machine, so not sure what the airports can do to get rid of that contract.
Anyway..."Yes" it DOES count in their ratings. And gives them the vast majority of their viewers.
And even that isn't enough to bring them up at all.
If they were to lose that airport contract...you would see their advertisers leave in droves. And the network would have to actually change from being a Democrat Party branch into reporting the news again. (which would be nice)
