FTVLive told you that CNN was once again blowing up their morning show. This is something CNN does every few years despite none of it working.

This week, CNN debuted their latest morning shows, CNN This Morning (5-7 AM) and CNN News Central (7-10 AM).

How’d the ratings look?

According to Nielsen, CNN This Morning drew a paltry 226,000 viewers across its two hours, and CNN News Central saw just 432,000 across its three hours.

Both these numbers were down compared to year to year.

In other words, the show they blew up did better than the new show.
