CNN's Campbell Brown Hits A New Low (Just 69,000 Viewers)
TVNewser ^ | 6/15/09

Campbell Brown's 8pmET CNN program had just 69,000 viewers in the A25-54 demo Friday night - the program's lowest ever. In fact, it was the lowest demo viewership for CNN at 8pmET since Christmas Day 2007.

The previous program low was 115,000, which occurred May 20 when Roland Martin was filling in. Brown's previous low was last Wednesday, with 125,000 viewers.

Brown took over anchoring the 8pm hour in March 2008 when the show was called "Election Center." The show morphed into "Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull" in October, a response to her 8pm competitors on Fox News and MSNBC. When she returned from maternity leave earlier this month the show was renamed "Campbell Brown."

Friday night was also the lowest A25-54 demo total of the year for Anderson Cooper 360, with 98,000 viewers, and the lowest Total Viewer average for Brown (591,000) in 2009. (Cooper's 10pm hour and repeated at 11pm was a taped special called "The Lone Wolf.")

The low viewership, on a summer Friday, came on the day of big international news as the results of the Iranian presidential election were coming in.

Wondering if 69,000 Viewers is a significant number?? That number couldn’t pay for the cameraman if he was an Apprentice!


Along similar lines I was wondering what the total unit production costs were relative to advertising rates for her show. I smell arterial bleeding here.

Does that include all the people who “watch” her while they do the treadmill at the gym? CNN is one of the stations where I work out, hope that is not part of the ratings .... ;-)

"No Bull" was silly; lefties wouldn't want that, and conservatives wouldn't believe it.

And that’s counting the people sitting in airline terminals, waiting for their flight.

69,000!

I think my local 5000 watt AM station, which at night you can hear across the street from the transmitter, and which plays golden oldies from the 50s and 60s pulls in a bigger audience than that!

Hmmmm. But she's so cute. It works for Fox but not for CNN. Mayber there is something to this Fair and Balanced Stuff. Or Maybe the Communist News Network is just doing something wrong that I didn't notice.

First of all, I can’t find ONE person who watches that idiot, where the hell did she find 69,000 to watch that train wreck..Now since Campbell loves jokes, someone should go on her show and make a joke about her jailbird daddy..I have some jokes, they involve soap on a rope

...The show morphed into "Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull"...

Classy!... LOL.

I did wonder at one time "Who in hell could like this?"... The again, I realized... This is the mysterious world of "Left Media."
