After letting it wither on the vine for a while, CNN has canceled the
nightly television program hosted by disgraced former New York governor
Eliot Spitzer.
The show, known as "In the Arena," had initially paired Spitzer with
moderate conservative Kathleen Parker who proved no match for her much
more vociferous liberal counterpart. AP reports on the lineup shuffle:
Spitzer lasted less than a year at the network. He began on CNN's prime-time lineup last October paired with conservative columnist Kathleen Parker,
who exited in February. The show never made a ratings dent in a tough
cable news time slot dominated by Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly.
CNN is moving Anderson Cooper's news program, which now airs at 10 p.m., into the 8 p.m. time slot. Former CNBC personality Erin Burnett will host a show that is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern time.
