CNN Cancels "King Charles" Show with Charles Barkley and Gayle King After 6-Month Run
TL;DR Summary
CNN has ended the six-month run of "King Charles," a weekly prime time talk show co-hosted by Charles Barkley and Gayle King, due to low ratings. The show struggled to attract viewers and was limited by Barkley's busy schedule, with the first airing watched by 500,000 total viewers and 139,000 in the 25-54 age demographic. Despite CNN's positive remarks about the show's diverse viewership, it was unable to compete with cable news rivals such as Fox News and MSNBC.
