As CNN's general ratings free fall continues, and with no big celebrity deaths (or similar "talky" events) to drive ratings, Larry King Live had its worst quarter overall for average viewership in the show's history, falling to an average of just 767,000 viewers for shows during the quarter. That's down 9% from the previous quarter's 840,000 viewers for shows during the quarter which was, at the time, the lowest ever.
