CNNRatings dropped for the second edition of Piers Morgan’s new CNN chat-show but he still managed to beat Fox News in a key demographic.

CNNRatings dropped for the second edition of Piers Morgan’s new CNN chat-show but he still managed to beat Fox News in a key demographic. Piers Morgan Tonight launched on Monday evening on CNN with 2.1 million viewers. Morgan’s first guest for his new chat-show, a replacement for Larry King Live, was Oprah Winfrey. The second evening of Piers Morgan Tonight saw ratings fall to 1.3 million viewers. It is not unusual for ratings to drop after a show’s launch as viewers, who tuned in out of curiosity, fail to return.

While Morgan’s ratings fell according to reports he managed to beat Fox News in the 25 – 54 audience demographic and in fact Morgan managed to see ratings within that audience demographic rise by 6%! Joining Morgan last night was Howard Stern.
