Steve is right.
A week and a half after its debut, the show from the host Jeff Zucker called “the new face of CNN” hit a new low yesterday. Airing at 4 PM ET, The Lead With Jake Tapper pulled in 61,000 viewers in the adults 25-54 demo on Wednesday, with 318,000 total viewers. That’s the worst the one-hour CNN show has done since its soft March 18 debut. It was also the worst of the day in the demo for any show on the ratings-challenged CNN. Wednesday’s number marks a demo-low for the show, but it’s not the worst The Lead has done in terms of viewership — it pulled in a mere 258,000 viewers March 22 with a demo of 68,000.
