Campbell Brown Ratings Hit 2009 Low

CNN's "Campbell Brown" hit a new ratings low for 2009 on Friday, June 19, when she averaged just 516,000 total viewers.

Brown's previous 2009 low had come Monday, June 15, when a total of 548,000 viewers tuned in to her 8PM show. On Friday, June 12, Brown recorded an all-time low with an average of 69,000 viewers in the adults 25-54 demographic, while averaging 591,000 total viewers.

Brown's show has recently undergone a rebrand in the wake of her return from maternity leave earlier this month. The show had previously been called "Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull." In spite of the name change, CNN maintained that Brown's show would "continue to stand for no nonsense, hard-hitting interviews and lively debate from all points of view."

Brown, who despite her ratings woes was recently named a potential breakout star by Forbes, is not alone. Both ABC's and CBS' evening news programs suffered all-time ratings lows last week.

Ratings for the month of June and the second quarter of 2009 are due out next week.

Mrs Dan Wingnut Senor is another republ ican shill. Her voice has the melodic quality of metal scraping concrete. Maybe now that her husband is pim ping on cnn, she can go home and take care of the baybay.

[BushBites]

Dan Senior and his Wingnut Buddies can only watch so many TVs at once.

[pfc1369]

She andhubby former Paul Bremer spokesmouth Dan Senor are awaiting a blessed event.

[ullyses]

Campbell, who? Bring back the dude who was subbing for her when she was on Mat-leave. At least he had some personality.

[NoDubya]

Roland Martin was a hundred times better.

[Archivist1000]

Campbell is a lightweight ... she doesn't rate her own show.

[lagumbo]

She should have been taken off longer time ago, she is pathetic. But I been stop watching CNN long time ago.

[wonkguy]

Campbell still has the best hair on TV!

[wonkguy]

The big problem with this show is that Lou Dobbs is on before it. A lot of people who might watch move on to other things at 7 and don't come back.

[cdc1908]

Agreed.

[JamesA1102]

Campbell doesn't realize that the right wing audience CNN panders to is already watching FAUX.

[learntofly]

Exactly. I could be missing something, but doesn't everybody know the nation is trending heavily away from the right? Why is CNN steadily leaning to the right then?

[adsandiego]

WHAT? she's STILL on the air??

This Baby Boomer Okie Democrat likes Campbell Brown !!!
