CNN Takes Out NYT “Reintroduce Ourselves” Ad; Look Who’s Left Out

CNN’s ‘The Point’ & MSNBC’s ‘All In’ Down Sharply From Debuts
Looks like Jeff Zucker’s ill-fated experiment with (Get To) The Point really will just last a week on CNN, if viewership numbers have anything to do with it. Along with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes-hosted All In, the supposedly short-term panel show premiered Monday and both saw their numbers head south ever since. Replacing the 10 PM repeat of Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN, the quickly announced The Point started low and fell further. 
Over a four-day average this week, the new show was down nearly 50% from the viewership the AC360 repeat drew last year and down 40% from what the encore of Cooper’s show garnered during March. In the adults 25-54 demo, The Point was blunted; with 77,000 in the demo, the Donny Deutsch-led show was down a whopping 55% from what the AC360 repeat received from April 2-April 5, 2012, and down 46% from the 143,000 average Cooper’s repeat earned last month. The worst airing of the week was Tuesday, when The Point bottomed out to a year-low for CNN in the slot with 235,000 watching and 59,000 in the demo.

CNN’s ‘The Point’ Debuts Weak, MSNBC’s ‘All In’ Starts Strong; Fox News Tops Quarter But Sees Demo Decline
April Fool’s Day saw two cable news networks debuting shows – though one likely isn’t laughing very much and MSNBC’s All In hosted by Chris Hayes is probably very happy. With little promotion and announced just hours before its debut on Monday, the 10 PM premiere on CNN of (Get To) The Point saw a sharp drop from the Anderson Cooper 360 repeat that usually sits in the time slot. The second new show of the Jeff Zucker regime, The Point pulled in 278,000 total viewers and 80,000 in the Adult 25-54 demo. Intended right now to run for just one week, the panel show was down 45% from the AC360 encore in total audience from the same day last year and off 52% in the demographic. It was third in viewership and demo on the slot behind Fox News Channel’s On The Record With Greta Van Susteren and MSNBC’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell. In fact, last night’s The Point was the lowest rated show in CNN’s 10 PM ET slot in both total viewers and the demo all year.

CNN’s ‘The Lead With Jake Tapper’ Hits Demo Low
A week and a half after its debut, the show from the host Jeff Zucker called “the new face of CNN” hit a new low yesterday. Airing at 4 PM ET, The Lead With Jake Tapper pulled in 61,000 viewers in the adults 25-54 demo on Wednesday, with 318,000 total viewers. That’s the worst the one-hour CNN show has done since its soft March 18 debut. It was also the worst of the day in the demo for any show on the ratings-challenged CNN. Wednesday’s number marks a demo-low for the show, but it’s not the worst The Lead has done in terms of viewership — it pulled in a mere 258,000 viewers March 22 with a demo of 68,000.
The best the Tapper-fronted 
show has done came on March 26, when it pulled in 433,000 viewers and 113,000 among 25-54. The show debuted with 400,000 viewers and 87,000 in the demo. But that’s cold comfort when Wednesday’s edition was well behind the 1.222 million viewers who watched Fox New Channel’s Your World With Neil Cavuto in the same time slot; the FNC show pulled in 199,000 in thedemo. The Lead was also behind MSNBC’s Martin Bashir, which drew 383,000 viewers but doubled CNN with 124,000 in the key demo. Read More »
Kate Bolduan Named CNN Morning Show Co-Host With Chris Cuomo; KTLA’s Michaela Pereira Set As News Anchor
CNN finally has its morning team, with congressional correspondent Kate Bolduan joining Chris Cuomo in the early hours. KTLA Los Angeles morning show anchor Michaela Pereira will serve as news anchor for the yet-unnamed New York-based show. “I’ve been looking forward to this announcement since I first joined CNN”, said CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker in a statement this morning. “Chris, Kate and Michaela 
are a dynamic team that will give our viewers in America a new way to start their day. We were floored with excitement when we saw Chris and Kate together on screen, 
and by adding Michaela to the mix we feel we have something very special. We believe there is an opening to do news in the morning with a fresh, new voice”. No official launch date was given, though the show is set to premiere sometime in the spring. Read More »

CNN’s ‘The Lead With Jake Tapper’ Premieres Soft As Jeff Zucker Era Begins
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg wished Jake Tapper “good luck with your show” yesterday while appearing on the debut episode of The Lead With Jake Tapper. The new one-hour CNN show looks like it needs it: The premiere of the first new show under new boss Jeff Zucker drew 400,000 total viewers, finishing in third place among cable news shows in its 4 PM ET time slot. That’s less than half of the 1.102 million who watched Fox News Channel’s Your World With Neil Cavuto, and also down from the 479,000 who watched Martin Bashir’s daily show on MSNBC. In the key adults 25-54 demo, the show starring the former ABC News White House correspondent — who new boss Zucker has called the “face of the new CNN,” — drew 87,000 viewers compared to Cavuto’s 172,000 and Bashir’s 100,000. It also was beaten it in the slot by CNN sister station Headline News, which pulled in 779,000 total viewers and 21,000 in the new demo.
