CNN Tries To Rebrand Anderson Cooper As Podcaster In Sad Grab For Relevance
CNN attempted to rebrand longtime host Anderson Cooper as a podcaster Thursday as the network’s primetime ratings have plummeted.
CNN changed the layout of “Anderson Cooper 360” to make it appear like a podcast. The reorganization came as CNN’s primetime ratings significantly dropped in the past year.
