Super Bowl Update

Warner Bros. has announced this afternoon that Anderson Live, the syndicated daytime talk show hosted by Anderson Cooper, will end its run at the end of the show's current season.

“We are extremely proud of Anderson and the show that he and the entire production team have produced,” said a Warner Bros. spokesperson in a statement. “While we made significant changes to the format, set and produced it live in its second season, the series will not be coming back for a third season in a marketplace that has become increasingly difficult to break through.”

The biggest problem the show has faced has been ratings.  The show was a weak performer in the 2011-12 season, and despite the changes made for this season, it just hasn't been able to make any headway among strong competition. Indeed, for the week ending, the show averaged a 1.1 rating nationally, down 15% from an already weak number for the same week last year.
