Matt Gaetz Secures Anchor Role on One America News Network

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who lost his House seat amid allegations of sex trafficking minors, has secured a prime-time show on One America News (OAN), a far-right network known for its pro-Trump stance and controversial content. Despite being dropped by major cable carriers, OAN continues to focus on streaming and digital platforms. Gaetz's show, "The Matt Gaetz Show," will air weeknights at 9 PM Eastern, competing with Fox News' Sean Hannity. The move raises questions about Gaetz's past allegations and the network's credibility.

Elon Musk's Imaginary MSNBC Takeover Sparks Media Buzz

Elon Musk has been hinting at buying MSNBC, but the channel is not for sale. Comcast, which owns MSNBC, plans to spin off its cable networks into a new company, SpinCo, but existing shareholders will retain ownership. The structure of the spinoff and the centralized control by the Roberts family make it unlikely for Musk to acquire MSNBC. Musk's interest in MSNBC may be fueled by his criticism of the channel and personal issues with Microsoft and Bill Gates. However, acquiring MSNBC would be complex and expensive, similar to his acquisition of Twitter.

"CNN Pulls the Plug on Charles Barkley and Gayle King's Talk Show"

CNN's talk show "King Charles," hosted by Gayle King and Charles Barkley, has come to an end after struggling to gain traction in the cable news ratings race. The show, which featured commentary and interviews on various topics, was described as a limited series and failed to secure a significant audience.

"Comparing Biden and Trump's Border Visits: Dueling Immigration Policies"

Cable news channels CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News covered President Biden and former President Trump's visits to the U.S.-Mexican border, with Fox News dedicating most of its afternoon programming to the topic and dismissing Biden's visit as a cynical photo op. CNN and MSNBC played up the "Border Battle Up Close" angle, with CNN airing both men's remarks in full and MSNBC not carrying either live. The differing programming choices reflect the different lenses through which voters may experience news coverage of the campaign.

CNN's 'King Charles' Show Starring Gayle King and Charles Barkley Premieres November 29

CNN is set to launch a new weekly one-hour talk show called "King Charles" on November 29, co-anchored by Gayle King and Charles Barkley. The show aims to have freewheeling conversations about the biggest news stories and cultural moments. CNN is experimenting with new programming concepts as cable-news audiences shift towards on-demand streaming, and advertisers become more cautious about sponsoring opinionated hosts. "King Charles" is viewed as a limited-run series, but if successful, CNN may consider more shows like it in the future.

The Turmoil at CNN: Lessons Learned from Chris Licht's Exit

The recent turmoil at CNN raises questions about whether an unaligned independent approach to news can work in today's polarized media landscape. CNN's new leadership under David Zaslav wants to move the network away from left-leaning "advocacy" and towards more "balance," but the definition of balance is unclear. Chris Licht's short tenure as CNN leader attempted to play it straight, but his mission was in large part doomed by the particular shape of his assignment, his own missteps, and an apparently incomplete understanding of the network as it existed before his arrival.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins rises to prime time anchor after controversial Trump town hall.

CNN has named Kaitlan Collins, a rising star at the network, as the anchor of a new weeknight show at 9 p.m. starting in June. Collins, who previously covered the Trump and Biden administrations, impressed executives with her interviewing and reporting skills during a weeklong stint as temporary host of CNN's 9 p.m. hour in April. Her promotion is a major bet by CNN leadership on a relatively untested solo anchor and a bid to revive the network's sagging ratings in a coveted time slot.

Tucker Carlson departs Fox News following Dominion lawsuit revelations.

Fox News has cut ties with its top-rated prime-time host Tucker Carlson, less than a week after the network settled a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems. Carlson's private messages were among hundreds of internal communications made public in the course of the lawsuit that caused angst and embarrassment for Fox. Carlson's comments about Fox management, as revealed in the Dominion case, played a role in his departure from Fox. Fox said that the 8 p.m. time slot, which Carlson has held since April 2017, will be filled on an interim basis by "rotating Fox News personalities until a new host is named."

US TV's Obsession with Trump Fizzles Out

Cable news networks CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC provided live coverage of former President Donald Trump leaving his Mar-a-Lago resort and boarding a Trump-branded plane en route to New York City, where he will report for arraignment on undisclosed charges handed down by a New York grand jury. The coverage was compared to the live TV coverage of O.J. Simpson traveling in the back seat of a white Ford Bronco in 1994. Trump's six-minute trip to the airport in a motorcade of black SUVs was uneventful, and his supporters were not present in large numbers. All three networks covered Trump's plane landing in New York around 3:30 p.m. Eastern.

CNN's March Primetime Ratings Drop by 61%: Nielsen

CNN's primetime ratings have dropped 61% in March, the steepest dip in viewership among the big three cable news giants, according to Nielsen data. Despite the poor ratings, CNN's CEO David Zaslav has given his support to network managers urging them to steer clear of politically oriented commentary and partisanship. CNN has struggled to replicate the same audience interest from a year ago, when Russia invaded Ukraine. The network saw more modest declines in total day viewership as well as viewers in the 25-54 demo.

CNN's Ratings Tank During Turnaround, Urges Patience.

CNN's ratings have dropped 61% in prime time in March, with Fox News Channel down 27% and MSNBC off by 12%. CNN's leadership is preaching patience even though thousands of viewers are abandoning the network during its attempted turnaround, with no indication yet whether it will be rewarded. The network is a year into new corporate management with Warner Bros. Discovery, which hired ex-CBS producer Chris Licht to run the network. Licht's biggest programming move to date, a revamp of “CNN This Morning,” hasn't borne fruit in the ratings and has been beset by bad publicity.
