Chris Wallace's ratings have gone beyond circling the bowl

Imagine having a tv show that few people watch on a network that few people watch and when your show goes off air more people tune into the network that not many people tune into in the first place. 

That's Chris Wallace's show called "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?" And in answer to the question: hardly anyone is watching. In fact, more people turn you off when you're on, and turn the Contemptible News Network (CNN) back on, when you're off. CNN viewers seem to go out of their way to find something else to do when your show is on than torture themselves to watch you. [H/T The Western Journal]

This was in spite of a media blitz to hype for Wallace's  weekend interview show after he left his long-standing position at the number one cable network news outlet, Fox News in December 2021 to go to CNN+. 

But that CNN venture collapsed in April after less than a month in operation and Wallace was left out in the cold.

CNN tried to revive the failed liberal's career but his show didn't even crack 500 thousand viewers. Nielsen numbers had him at 462,000 and that's just a little more than the number of travelers on an India train [if you don't include the riders on the roof]. 

Fox News’ “Sunday Night in America” with Trey Gowdy kicked butt in that time slot by a triple-digit advantage and double-digits in the 25-54 age demographic. Wallace drew a mere 58,000 to Gowdy's 72,000.

CNN drew 78,000 eyeballs in the 25-54 age bracket between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., but when Wallace came on it dropped to 58,000 in the same age bracket and after he signed off, it jumped back up to 71,000 in the 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. hour earning Wallace the moniker "Human Repellent."

The good news for Wallace and Fox News is that his show was renewed for another season in December.
