CNN had one of its worst ratings weekends of all time recently, and 1210 WPHT morning host Nick Kayal showcased just how bad the outcome was for the cable channel.
During Kayal and Company Thursday, the news/talk host noted that an average of 55,000 viewers in the 25-54 demographic tuned into CNN on a recent weekend.
“I’m convinced that Matt Rooney and anybody else who does a weekend show here on 1210 can amass 55,000 listeners,” Kayal said before Program Director Greg Stocker noted that is factual information.
“When the bar is so low, you can’t go anywhere but up from there, I would think, but then again, I didn’t think they would get this low,” continued Kayal. “So who knows that could be 47,000 in the next month or something.”
Kayal then turned his attention to Anderson Cooper’s new Sunday program, and asked listeners what they would get out of viewing the program.
“What do you gain out of watching Anderson Cooper? when you sit down and watch that show, is he entertaining? Does he have any energy? No. Does he look like he had blood drained from his body? Yes. He is low energy,” Nick Kayal concluded. “He is the most uninteresting man on television on that network. And that’s saying something because there’s nobody that’s interesting on that network.”
