Bill Gorman TV by the Numbers:
Erin Burnett OutFront isn't getting much
traction. It delivered its lowest 25-54 demo viewership for the show
since launch (67,000). And it was CNN’s lowest 25-54 demo viewership of
the year in that time period and second lowest total viewership.
Much traction? A freaking understatement. Burnett right out of the box has been an unmitigated ratings disaster -- and the comely cipher's lack of journalistic chops a major embarrassment. Another example of CNN's Peter Principle. See
Rick Sanchez. Eliot Spitzer. Or an Erin-exclusive mutation of the Peter Principle.
"To be fair, and to provide some context to the mercurial nature of cable news ratings, on Monday night Burnett pulled the second highest ratings on the network with 174,000 viewers, and she is up from her John King U.S.A lead-in by double-digits in both P2+ (+16%) and P25-54 (+19%). "
ReplyDeleteI guess they will bring the hook for John King too!
Going down like the Titanic at an iceberg convention.

Erin and Anderson,
