CNN is ending its weekly King Charles program helmed by Gayle King and Charles Barkley after just six months.

The show — which aired Wednesdays at 10 PM ET — failed to produce the strong ratings the network hoped would follow the high-profile hosts.

According to metrics from Nielsen, the show debuted in November and was the lowest-rated primetime weekday series debut for CNN in a decade. Unfortunately for the network, viewership fell 20% since the debut, with one late January episode failing to hit 100,000 viewers in the 25-54 demographic.

The program was championed by former CNN CEO Chris Licht, who was fired last year after a magazine profile in The Atlantic called his ability to lead the organization going forward into question. Despite his ouster, CNN continued with the idea of the program led by Gayle King and Charles Barkley in hopes of increased ratings as it struggled in primetime against competitors like Fox News and MSNBC.

The news of the demise of King Charles wasn’t completely unexpected. When it began last fall, CNN shared that the program was expected to run through “early spring.”

In total, the 14-episode run the program featured saw an average audience of 459,000 viewers, with 106,000 resting in the 25-54 demographic, according to the New York Post.

Jessica Tarlov has one of the most difficult jobs at Fox News: she’s the dissenting liberal voice on the network’s popular afternoon show The Five.

In an interview with USA Today, Tarlov admitted that while she may take grief from social media users, she knows she has a role to play and has to straddle a fine line.

“There are a lot of people, and they’re especially loud on…X, who are not fans of mine,” Tarlov said. “But you don’t want to come off as shrill, like every single thing a conservative says you automatically have the opposite opinion of.”

She continued by noting that while there have been some strong arguments with other panelists on the show, she never takes comments to heart.

“Overall, it’s been an incredibly positive experience for me,” Tarlov added. “I have a pretty thick skin. I can’t actually remember a time I was genuinely offended or upset by something that went on during the show. And I think that even though some viewers might not necessarily see it that way, I don’t actually find the interactions to be disrespectful.”

The 40-year-old commentator added that she feels like she could “go on forever” in the role.

The Five has become a ratings juggernaut for Fox News in the early afternoon window. The show — often helmed by Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, Jeanine Pirro, Tarlov, and Dana Perino — has at times finished as the most-watched program on cable news.

NFL legend and the subject of the “Trial of the Century”, O.J. Simpson, died Wednesday. NewsNation host Dan Abrams had mixed feelings about the situation.

“O.J. Simpson died today and, for me, it’s actually an incredibly odd day, because I covered every day of both his criminal and civil cases from inside the courtroom, and there weren’t many of us,” the Dan Abrams Live host said. “The reality is his cases jumpstarted my career, and yet he was a murderer. It’s sort of a troubling reality I’ve always had to live with.”

Abrams went on to say that he began working as a courtroom correspondent for Court TV at the age of 27, when he was thrust into covering the Simpson case. He shared that he was unaware of what the court proceedings would mean to the nation and also his career.

“I had no sense that I was about to devote the next two years of my life to covering the trial of a generation,” said Abrams.

He concluded by noting that he wasn’t feeling sorry for Simpson’s family on the day of his death, as much as he felt empathy for the families of the victims Simpson was accused of murdering.

“At the end of the day, it’s also true the deaths of two totally innocent people helped make my career, and I have guilt about that. I always have,” he admitted.

“So today I’m not thinking about the family of O.J. Simpson. I’m thinking about the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. It breaks my heart that I benefited my career so much as a result of their loved ones being killed by O.J. Simpson.”
