Filed Under 'Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Bunch': CNN in a Bit of a Ratings Slump

During the week of May 13-19, CNN recorded its worst primetime ratings performance among the 25-54 demographic since 1991. 

To put it in perspective, the last time the network's ratings were that low, George Bush Sr. was president and Bryan Adams had just released Everything I Do.

According to a report from Nielsen cited by the New York Post, between Monday and Sunday of the week in question, only 83,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54 tuned in to CNN's primetime programming, which runs from 8pm to 11pm. 

The primetime block begins with Anderson Cooper's AC360, and is followed by The Source with Kaitlan Collins. Abby Phillip caps off the evening with CNN NewsNight.
