CNN To End ‘Piers Morgan Live’ Due To Falling Ratings

CNN is pulling the plug on “Piers Morgan Live” after just three years in a key primetime slot.


The program, hosted by former newspaper editor Piers Morgan, had struggled to gain traction at the 9 p.m. hour, and was routinely beaten in the ratings by cable competitors.

“CNN confirms that “Piers Morgan Live” is ending,” the network said in a statement. “The date of the final program is still to be determined.”

“Piers Morgan Live” replaced the CNN show hosted by iconic TV interviewer Larry King in early 2011.
