It's been the week of
Criminal Minds DVD -- not only the "Twilight" sequel, which is sizzling at the box office, but also of personalities, as in Larry King.
The talk show host has decided, or was gently prodded to decide by his
Criminal Minds DVD box set at CNN, that it's time after 25 years in the saddle, as he puts it, "to hang up the suspenders."
What's happened with and to him is what's
Criminal Minds box set Corporate America: His ratings no longer warrant his primetime position, and his paycheck -- rumored to be as high as in the $10 million range -- is way out of sync with the belt-tighteners in the accounting
Criminal Minds DVDs.
King's exit also reflects the retooling at the cable news
One Tree Hill DVD, which has seen its ratings decline 30% or even 40% year-over-year depending on the metric, chunk of the day or demo one chooses. All of the network's primetime hosts, including
One Tree Hill DVD Box Set and Anderson Cooper, have seen their numbers slide. Another primetime anchor, Campbell Brown, recently
One Tree Hill Box Set in her mike. King's performance this year averages 745,000 viewers, down 36% from 2009, and only 199,000 adults aged 25-54, off 38% from 2009.
Not that it was always so. Despite the twilight,
One Tree Hill DVD Season has broken a lot of records, seeming most proud of the Guinness Book record for longest-running talk show in the same slot on the same network: 25 years. CNN used to pivot around King, giving him enormous leeway in terms of the kind of show he would do and even building identical sets in
One Tree Hill DVDs, New York and D.C. to accommodate him.
As impressive as King's streak is, it just doesn't resonate with
One Tree Hill seasons 1-7 anymore.
Thing is, those coming up are not at all
One Tree Hill new release about where and when one is on, or how long one has been there. Track records, well, they're for the
Cold Case DVD|
Cold Case who like to track things, but not really for anyone else.
Once the lone round-the-clock global news
Cold Case DVD Set, CNN now must contend with rivals on either flank -- Rupert Murdoch's hopped-up Fox News Channel routinely eating its lunch and GE's MSNBC taking occasional bites out of its other
Cold Case DVDs. There also are the national or supra-national news services abroad that have sprung up to beam their own information services to their constituencies.
It was in a time of war that CNN
Cold Case DVD Season, especially during the Gulf War -- remember King quizzing Wolf Blitzer and Bernard Shaw as they ducked
Cold Case box set? -- but also through to the invasion of
Cold Case new release.
Age, well, it does catch up with one -- Iraq,
CSI Las Vegas DVD and King included.
When clips of King in earlier decades are
CSI Las Vegas DVD Box Set, the hunch of the shoulders and the tilt of the body are more eager, the acid on the tongue a little sharper.
With the newsmakers of the day -- from
CSI Las Vegas Box Set's first appearance on CNN with New York Gov. Mario Cuomo through the Reagans and eventually the Clintons -- the indefatigable interviewer held his own. And got something, sometimes a lot, out of his
CSI Las Vegas DVD Season.
Things weren't always overtly sexy or
CSI Las Vegas DVDs, a la Paris Hilton or Lady Gaga, to draw an audience. During the mid-'90s, the political debate over the North American Free Trade Agreement, of all things, was a huge ratings grabber, and King was right in the
CSI Las Vegas new release of it.
But it's been awhile since a guest chose "
looney tunes dvd" to do what Ross Perot did in 1992: declare his candidacy for the presidency.
There are just too
Warner Bros Cartoons DVD|
Warner Bros open to politicians and personalities nowadays to shape and deliver their messages, including what we are bound to see much more of: the famous taking charge of their own communication with
Warner Bros DVD via social media or their own websites. (They'll still need crisis managers, but PR people?)
