Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and CNN has just
0:05
suffered another major, major loss. This one's going to hit them really hard

Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow
0:20
So CNN's been struggling in the ratings for quite some time. You know, ever since really Chris Cuomo left, he was their highest rated guy
0:28
He got involved in that scandal with his brother Andrew Cuomo, who was then the governor
0:32
of New York, who got involved in his own scandal, who was removed as governor of New York
0:37
That also led to Chris Cuomo being removed because he had assisted his brother with messaging
0:42
and whatnot with reporters. But he had the highest rated show in prime time on CNN at the time of his removal
0:50
Then you took Don Lemon from prime time where he was struggling and sent him to the mornings
0:54
where he struggled even harder. And it's just been a mess over there
0:58
Brian Stelter was one of their more notable hosts, not popular, but notable on the weekends
1:05
He was axed. They're trying a new morning show. They're trying new prime time lineups
1:10
They're trying new prime time programming and all of it, all of it is failing
1:15
All of it is crumbling around them. And now the man in charge of it all, CNN CEO Chris Lick, is apparently stepping aside
1:24
He'll still keep the title of CEO, but he's handing over day to day operations to Dylan
1:30
Byers from WarnerMedia. Now everybody believes that Dylan is going to actually be running the operation while
1:40
Lick will stay in charge of programming for now. But officially the official company line is that Byers will report to Lick, but the industry
1:48
insiders and people at CNN don't believe that for a second. And the reports from Puck News, and Puck News, very reputable news inside the beltway, says
1:58
that Lick is out. And you have to wonder if he's out as the main man there running business operations
2:06
what happens to the top talent at CNN? What happens to your Jake Tappers, your Anderson
2:11
Anderson Cooper is getting hammered. He's getting eviscerated. He got beat last week by Newsmax, which is in significantly less homes than CNN is in
2:22
There's not a network in the news industry that does not beat CNN every single day unless
2:26
you look to like NewsNation or OANN, who are just in so many less homes they can't compete
2:33
Even Newsmax really can't compete just because they're not in the same number of homes
2:37
You have to have an even playing field. You know, it's interesting because CNN used to be the number one name in cable news
2:44
It was the only name for a while. And then they got competition, but they remained number one for a long time, well outpacing
2:52
the others who tried to compete with them. You know, it also hurts CNN that they had the Russian collusion hoax, that they went
3:00
after Trump with lie after lie for his entire presidency. And then when people find out that they've been lied to, even if you're on the left
3:07
if you find out you've been lied to for all those years, do you really want to watch that network anymore
3:12
So CNN, I don't know if they can right this ship. This might be the end to me
3:16
In five years, does CNN still exist as a cable television network
3:20
In my opinion, I don't think so. Maybe as a streaming network, it still exists, but as a cable television network, I just
3:27
simply don't think it can compete anymore. And I think that's obvious to anybody
3:31
It's like trying to save the Titanic with, you know, a paddle
3:36
It's not going to work. Folks, I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America
