Rating calculations are weekly averages based on nightly ratings provided by TVNewser with data by Nielsen Media Research. Numbers reflect Live and same day (DVR) data.
Mediaite pointed out: Ed Schultz‘s The Ed Show put up some impressive numbers Thursday, topping both CNN and HLN combined in the demo and total viewers. Schultz averaged 230,000 demo viewers, which was more than Anderson Cooper and Nancy Grace‘s respective programs put together. Schultz has been a tour-de-force at the network with his steadily strong 8pm slot ratings performance for MSNBC over the past couple of months.
We know you've noticed the decline in CNN's numbers. Our question? Can CNN hold on until the conventions and the elections give them a ratings bump or will changes come before November?

SANJAY GUPTA, MD – Saturday and Sunday 7:30AM – 8:00AM
For decades, doctors have relied on Body Mass Index – or BMI, a ratio of height to weight – to categorize people as overweight and obese. But a new study suggests the obesity crisis in America may be even worse than we thought. Sanjay takes a 250-pound 12-year-old boy to the hospital to show him exactly what all the extra weight is doing to his body. Also, since her 1996 Olympic debut at the age of 14, swimmer Amanda Beard has won seven Olympic medals, and is now training to land a spot in her fifth Olympics this summer in London. But throughout her career, Amanda has struggled with a negative body image and self-destructive behavior. She opens up about an adolescence filled with abuse, eating disorders and even “cutting.”

Under the heading of: Guessing What's Next For Keith Olbermann from Forbes
CNN might hire him, as, in fact, it tried to do so some years ago. Granted, that was under its old president, Jon Klein, not its current one, Ken Jautz. It’s definitely a long shot, as Olbermann’s outspoken liberalism would sit uneasily with CNN’s aversion to taking sides. Sensibility-wise, though, he might be a fit with Piers Morgan, another host whose visible self-regard is part of his love-him-or-hate-him appeal. An Olbermann hiring would be bad news for Erin Burnett, who show “OutFront” is the weakest link in CNN’s primetime lineup. It would also leave the network with an evening schedule consisting entirely of white men.
