MAYBE BRINGING BACK KATHLEEN PARKER MIGHT HELP? Nahh — “Eliot Spitzer’s ‘Viewpoint’ Ratings Predictably Plummet Since Olbermann’s Current Exit.” As Tim Graham adds at Newsbusters:

Eliot Spitzer can’t even hold on to Keith Olbermann’s puny audience at Current TV. The paper’s headline said “predictably plummet.” Compared to Olbermann’s average in March, over the same time period, Nielsen has Spitzer’s four-week average down 62 percent with adults 25-54 (14,000, down  from 38,000) and 68 percent with total viewers (46,000, down from 145,000). The demo average managed to reach 19,000 in its second week, but dropped to 12,000 in the third and just 9,000 in the fourth.

Current TV — making CNN’s ratings look better every day!

UPDATE: Prof. Joseph Olson emails, “Eliot Spitzer is used to paying for his audience.  TV doesn’t allow that.” Heh.™
