Anderson Cooper's AC 360 Ratings Hit 2009 Lows In October

Categories: Cable News Ratings

Of course, the election drove much of the year over the year to year October declines for CNN's Anderson Cooper's AC 360, but the show has yet to find a ratings floor in 2009, and October was its lowest month of the year for both the cable news target adults 25-54 demo and average viewership.

Do note his Michael Jackson death "bump" in the summer. All those folks that tuned in subsequently just went elsewhere.

  1. CNN, get the hint?

    Bring back Aaron Brown.

    i can’t believe how this show is dropping off the radar so quickly…mabey he should have the cast of “til death” on.

    :-)

    Must be on obummer’s list of a non-news entity.

  5. Jeffrey

    Who is Cooper Anderson?

  6. AppleStinx

    With Anderson Cooper, it’s Anderson Cooper first and news second. You watch his program and what do you remember afterwards?? His head taking up the whole screen.

  7. GaryD7310

    His Teabagger comment was over the top and I think that has to do with a lot of his decline.

  8. CNN and MSNBC is tanking daily! Looks like the Liberal Media is taking a hit, guess what Fox is exposing is waking people up!

    What else do you expect. Anderson is a far left guy and so as obama goes down,so does all his media allies. I predict campbell brown and wolf blitzer will be next to go down.

    maybe they should switch to widescreen like fox that would take care of his gigantic head taking up the whole screen but with their rating why bother its not worth the penny no one is watching anyhow

  11. D.J.

    By comparison, more viewers would rather watch pre-recorded videos of CNN on YouTube with that hideous “NEWS” logo on the top left, than ol’ Andy’s giant head!

  12. Greg the Mongoose

    Anderson Cooper needs to come out of the closet. It would improve his ratings. Plus a little color in the hair and face you look like a albino. Stop the Obama Glee club act. You need to report the news. Not goto Afghanistan.

  13. CYTDAD

    Anderson, Come over to FOX with Stossel and really get your vioce heard unchained, fair and balanced. Your good but who’s really listening when you are standing so far to the Left?

    AC is going to Afghanistan?
    AC sitting on a mountain top, looking far in the horizon while a battle is raging down below, lost in thoughts of what a great backdrop for his diaries that is.

    CNN the news you’ll never use!

    I’ll bet if you stop calling people names like Tea Baggers more people would watch.

    Tea Baggers watch the TV too.

  16. AppleStinx

    Anderson Cooper going to Afghanistan. It brought back memories of Rambo III, in Afghanistan, final scene, Rambo turns his back and walks away into the sunset with not even a shirt on his back – say what?? Didn’t they know he would be walking into hundreds and hundreds of miles of *nothing*? Hopefully AC will be more prepared than Rambo.

  17. buck the smuck

    he’s so bad–cooper got it in the pooper–does’t that fit perfertly!!

  18. Veronica

    Once Anderson made the teabagger comment he lost all credibility. CNN is blocked on my TV period.

  19. dudelookslikealady

    when cooper out-ed himself, that was the end. his ratings will not find a floor until cnn shows him the door.
