CNN is trying all sorts of things to win back fleeing Black and Hispanic viewers that have gone to MSNBC, according to the NYPost.com.
Suffering in ratings, "John King USA" may be switched out for a show featuring comedian Chris Rock and "Archer" animated series star host Aisha Tyler to replace, according to the Post.
Soledad O'Brien shot a pilot for this slot, but the Post reports it was "deemed unwatchable by CNN Worldwide president Jim Walton."
Who would make you tune in to CNN and why? Is John King an asset to CNN, or should he consider jumping to FOX, FBN or network news?
