Desperado

It was a week at the bottom of the trio we're tracking on US news networks for Piers Morgan.  His CNN show propped up the table behind Rachel Maddow on MSNBC and Dr Drew on CNN-run HLN. Top of the league is still Hannity on Fox.

Morgan's tactics (or his team's) smack of desperation.  Monday saw a Ryan O'Neal interview, Tuesday La Toya Jackson, Wednesday Christiane Amanpour, and Thursday Barry Manilow. For Friday, Piers got an 8pm slot for Tatum O'Neal and re-ran the Ryan interview at 9pm, returning an extraordinarily low 78,000 viewers amongst US 25 to 54 year-olds.
