Even one of CNN’s most legendary broadcasters isn’t denying the network’s ratings slump.
“CNN’s got problems,” Larry King told HuffPost Live on Wednesday. “I don’t know what they’re going to do.”
January has been the network’s third-lowest month in ratings history. This month, the news network has fallen far behind Fox News and MSNBC and is even trailing its sister-network HLN.
King offered CNN some programming advice: put on cartoons. “Put Spongebob on CNN — 24 hours — until a big story breaks. Then we break into Spongebob, and go to the hurricane, and then back to Spongebob,” he said, referring to the hit cartoon Spongebob Squarepants.
As for his replacement, Piers Morgan, King said Piers Morgan Live is “not the kind of show that I enjoy” because the British host makes it “too much about him” and not enough about the opinions of his guests.

I’d be pissed off if CNN interrupted Sponge Bob to bring me breaking news about Obama.
I like the sponge bob idea.
That is probably the smartest idea Larry King ever had.
I never watched Larry on CNN, but he now has a show on Hulu where he has some pretty interesting guests. And he does make it about the guests, not him.
Instead of Piers Morgan, they should got back to Space Ghost Coast to Coast!
They will air Spongbob before they give the Conservative side of the argument.
Square Bob sponge pants would be a big step up for MSDNC and CNN.
Jeff Zucker is going back to the mailroom, where he started..

“CNN’s got problems,” Larry King told HuffPost Live on Wednesday. “I don’t know what they’re going to do.”
So the suggestion is to show cartoon’s — MF’n cartoon’s.
Not start being more genuine, or honest, or start “reporting” the news not serving up the left wing agenda and talking points. The answer Larry King comes up with is cartoon’s.
Are you F’n kidding me - seriously?!? Cartoon’s?
