Scott Jennings

Pretty much. CNN meant for Scott Jennings to be a token and essentially toothless conservative presence who would easily be plowed under by brilliant leftist rhetoric and instead he routinely plows under slow witted leftist 'journalists' and 'guests' as a matter of course . . . thus massively boosting viewership whenever he appears.

I have to be honest here; I didn't know CNN was still on the air. The viewership must be lower than an obama promise.

CNN's ratings are very low. Currently, they average about 150K - 200K in the key (24-50) demo. In fact, before Covid, CNN's ratings were so low, they were falling off Nielsen's Top 20 cable channel report. During Covid, CNN's ratings skyrockets and have been on a slow decline again.

What's the cancelation number for an average TV show?

well, prior to social media and streaming media, network and cable shows were in danger of being cancelled when their viewership dropped below 1 million viewers. Since the advent of streaming media, those standards have been lowered to now shows with 50K - 350K in the key demographic (24-50) are typically cancelled.

In CNN's case, those numbers are their primetime numbers, which is a big reason CNN is undergoing major org changes and content changes, because they've lost millions in add revenue per show.
