Their current prime time lineup of Anderson Cooper 360 and Piers Morgan are both down in total viewers and adults 25-54 from previous quarters.
Daily ratings of 319,000 average total viewers has the network trailing big time behind MSNBC (689,000) and FOX News (1.79 million), both of which are also down in primetime.
