Gayle King and Charles Barkley ended the limited run of King Charles on CNN after six months of struggling to find ratings.
The show was always described as a “limited” series by the network. The New York Post reported on Monday that King Charles had been “axed,” but the network denied this description and noted that the plan was always to run the show into the Spring.
A CNN spokesperson confirmed King Charles had come to a conclusion following King and Barkley giving a final sendoff to viewers last week. The spokesperson touted ratings wins for the series, which had the worst primetime debut on the network in a decade, according to same-day Nielsen ratings. ...
Barkley addressed news of ratings struggles for King Charles after it debuted to approximately 500,000 viewers. By comparison, Fox News drew two million viewers in the same Wednesday primetime lineup, while MSNBC drew 1.6 million.

For a second there I thought the title was referring to Charles Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Imagine my disappointment.
Wasn’t there a super low rates show on CNN about a decade ago with a NY sex pervert dem and a compliant RINO lady?
Parker/Spitzer. That was over a decade ago.
Don’t tell me the Chuck Shop is closing. I can only take so much bad news in one day.
This is the first I have heard of it. Hope I didn’t miss anything important.
So having “Milk Dud” and Oprah’s “friend” wasn’t a ratings bonanza?
Color me shocked!!!
all the news people have to do is start reporting the news... but instead, they would rather go broke it seems.
How about an in-depth look at how an attempt was made to frame Trump for Russian collusion?
How about an in-depth look at how Obama ordered the justice department to start tracking conservative groups?
How about an in-depth look at how the justice system is being perverted to unjustly persecute both the J6 protestors and Trump?
How about reporting real criminals as what they are instead of “people of interest”?
How about reporting the race of criminals when they are not white?
How about reporting that they are Muslims when terrorists terrorize?
nope!
They brought it on themselves.
That’s right.
I somehow thought this was about Larry King.
Yes, I know he died. Would that have really changed his show much?
I didn’t know about this other CNN show. Oh well, too late now.
Barkley is the world record holder for the worst primetime debut on the network in a decade.
Shaq and others will never let Charles forget that fact.
A new high in lows!
It was only a few weeks ago in March, when Barkley said on the air, if he saw a black person wearing a Trump mugshot t shirt he would punch them in the face!
I don’t think that worked as he thought it would.
Actually that is a surprise!.........
When reached for comment, one of the anchors said "Well, if you axed me . . ."
