CNN's Gayle King and Charles Barkley to Host Primetime Show Amid Network's Ratings Struggles
TL;DR Summary
CNN is reportedly in talks with Gayle King and Charles Barkley to host a weekly primetime show for the network, as part of its efforts to revitalize its nighttime lineup. The 9 PM ET primetime hour has lacked a permanent host since Chris Cuomo was fired in December 2021. The network has talked to two dozen or so names about filling at least one night a week in that time slot, with plans to fill remaining nights with special events. CNN's primetime ratings have declined in February 2022, with an average of 587,000 viewers, down 24% from a year earlier.
