If Trump is convicted and imprisoned from his tax scandals from SDNY or the New York AG, his trial will garner nationwide (and possibly worldwide) attention. Cable news' ratings will rise from that.

I'm sure it's going to be on all channels every single day if it happens, just like O.J.'s trial.

 

I'll bet the Trump trial ratings will make the OJ trial look like it aired on NBC in the Fred Silverman era... or (to tie to this thread) the Jeff Zucker era.

WHEN it happens, it will be must-see-TV.  To see him go down in flames 24/7 on the way he pushed his way into our heads would be the single most gratifying thing ever.

It's official.

“I think a lot of people will be devastated if he does leave the network, and are concerned that you won’t be able to find someone with his leadership style to fill that role.” 

 

Exactly what style of "leadership" does he provide? Outside of NYC what employees will be sad to see him go? If CNN returns to news after the mess he's created, that will be a welcomed change.

I just don't see any CNN employees liking his style. I'd be embarrassed to work under a guy like him.

Jeff Zucker will go down in infamy as one of the ultimate worst programming executives in history (broadcast or cable).

Strongly agree with that!

I am not a fan of Jeff Zucker but everyone in this group is talking about CNN’s demise post trump. 
 

Between Nov. 4 and Sunday, CNN has averaged 1.73 million viewers, more than double a year ago, Nielsen said. Fox News Channel had 1.56 million and MSNBC had 1.53 million. It's the first time since December 2001, the newsy period after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, that CNN has beaten Fox News in this measurement for as long as a month, Nielsen added. Among the broadcast networks, NBC led last with a primetime average of 6 million viewers.

 

to be fair to Jeff... this is under his watch.

End of an era. CNN Airport will be no more at the end of March.

I wonder what will now be shown on TV's where the CNN Airport Network used to air?

Talked about this on the Discord, and I'll share it here. Nexstar could launch an airport network consisting of NewsNation content (live broadcasts, highlights from the show, national travel forecasts, NewsNation Now, and the soon-to-be-launched Banfield) and local content (live newscasts, local forecasts, and other local programming) from the Nexstar station in the airport's DMA.
