Chris Cuomo demands new time slot at NewsNation as ratings tank: sources

NYP:
Chris Cuomo is demanding that his bosses at NewsNation move his new show to a different time slot — his latest desperate bid to improve his sagging viewership on the fledging cable TV network, The Post has learned.

Cuomo — who joined NewsNation Oct. 3 after getting fired from CNN for secretly helping his older brother, ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, navigate a slew of sex scandals — is fuming about the lackluster performance of his nightly broadcast, which airs at 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, sources said.

In response, Cuomo recently has met with Michael Corn — the former ABC producer who became NewsNation’s president of news last year — about switching time slots with talk show host Dan Abrams, who has the 9 p.m. slot on weeknights, sources said.

“Cuomo is getting nasty about the ratings and he’s starting to blame everyone but himself,” an insider said. “He’s blaming the network, staff that he personally hired, his lead-in, the promo department and even the press department!” more here

  1. The man is such a dick they should put him in the Safe Harbor time period!

    “Safe harbor (broadcasting), established in 1978 in the US, the time period in a television schedule during which programs with adult content can air”
