Viewers doing a 180 on Anderson Cooper's '360'
May 11 2009
Kay Jones, a producer on CNN's Anderson Cooper's "AC360," recently blogged on the show's website that she "deserve[s] the month of May off." Well, she might as well take it because Cooper's fan base is doing just that already.
Cooper's ratings have been in a sharp decline all year, and so far the month of May is no exception. According to Nielsen, the audience for the 10-11 p.m. hour of his show so far this month is 933,000 viewers.
This is the first time he's fallen below the one-million mark since the dog days of last August.
Anderson is losing almost 20% of his lead-in from Larry King and is in danger of being passed in the ratings by MSNBC's 10 p.m. repeat of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."
Since the start of 2009, Cooper has lost one-third of his audience.
CNN has invested heavily into marketing Cooper as the face of the network. The hype has never really translated into commercial success, and now that MSNBC is suddenly competitive, CNN finds itself being flanked on the right and the left.

Here’s how little I know about MSNBC, I have no idea what Anderson Cooper looks like, but I do hope his small intenstine fails.
His ratings fall seems to correspond to his outing as a homosexual in May 2007.
Both of them? Well, he’s Gloria Vanderbilt’s son, so I doubt if he’ll have to worry about where his next meal is coming from...
Meanwhile, let’s see, how is Rush’s ratings?? And he has a RADIO show...
I think the “tea-bagging” comment sealed his fate.
Is he really? I had no idea.
I don't think any kid could emerge from that household and wind up straight.
lol
It’s not too hard to figure out. The liberals are watching MSNBC and of course conservatives aren’t going to watch CNN. CNN is the Arlen Specter of cable news.
OMG! Outdone by olberputz?! Oh the shame! Oh the humiliation!

So where are the ratings for Fox News during the same hour?
CNN is far more conservative than Arlen,
sarc
I have no idea who Anderson Cooper is either. Maybe that’s his problem.
Yeah, I just read it. He’s a creepy guy.
Which one?
Not that I’ve ever watched him, but that “teabagging” remark that I read about ensures I never shall.
Well there's your answer right there! Poor dweeb never had a chance.
