CNN To End Piers Morgan's Show

CNN President Jeff Zucker has decided to bring an end to Piers Morgan's low-rated primetime show, network sources told POLITICO on Sunday. "Piers Morgan Live" could end as early as next month, though Morgan may stay with the network in another role.

Morgan, a former British tabloid editor, replaced Larry King in the 9 p.m. hour three years ago, prior to Zucker's tenure as president. His show earned consistently low ratings, registering as few as 50,000 viewers in the 25-to-54 year-old demographic earlier this week.

Morgan told The New York Times on Sunday that the show had "run its course" and that he and Zucker "have been talking for some time about different ways of using me.” Sources who spoke to POLITICO said the decision to end the show was Zucker's.
