CNN Ratings in the Tank

CNN has hit a new ratings low with its performance so far in October.

  

CNN was not only beat out by Fox News and MSNBC for the 7-11pm time slots, it also trailed its sister network HLN, formerly called Headline News.

 It's time maybe to do something else with Anderson Cooper, who was to be the prime time savior for CNN.  He not only is getting killed by Greta Van Susteren on Fox, but by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC and Nancy Grace on HLN.  This would be bad enough, but it's worse because Olbermann and Grace's shows are both repeats of shows that aired 2 hours earlier.

CNN continues to blame its poor performance on a slow news period.  The fact is CNN is getting beat in all time slots and by all demographic groups.  Unless aliens decide to land in Central Park, I don't expect CNN's rating to rebound anytime soon.
