Primetime is not good news for CNN lately. Amidst having its least watched month in primetime in two decades in May and the lowest rated month in total viewers in 10-years in April, CNN has now hit a 20-year all time primetime weekly low. The latest fall came during the week of July 30 to August 5, 2012.
Both primetime hosts Anderson Cooper and Piers Morgan were on full time duty that week, with no substitutes. The decline was among total viewers and the key 25-54 demo. During the week of July 30 to August 5, Piers Morgan Tonight at 9 PM averaged 314,000 viewers overall, with a mere 81,000 in the 25-54 demo, according to Nielsen.

I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN IN BROADCASTING (47 YRS). HEADS DON'T ROLL, SHOWS DON'T GO OFF. AND ANCHORS OPENLY TELL YOU THEIR BIAS, THEIR SEXUAL LIFE AND THEY SINK DEEPER INTO THE ABYSS.
On New Years Eve CNN will start the year 2013 off with the same duo, Anderson Cooper 360 3.0 and Kathy Profane Griffin will bloviate words you can't say on TV. And 360 will laugh and lol and lol and lol.
CNN will begin with the tumble, the slide off the cliff of the Nielsen ratings for yet another year.
