While Cuomo’s CNN show averaged 2 million nightly viewers in 2020, his last full year on the network, NewsNation reportedly averaged only 46,000 viewers in prime time last year. The new channel, which replaced WGN America on the cable dial, launched with the goal of providing down-the-middle, unbiased news reporting and analysis. Zucker himself was pushed out a few months later, with some CNN employees placing the blame on Cuomo. Cuomo recently launched a podcast called the “Chris Cuomo Project.” In his inaugural episode, he said he didn’t want to re-litigate the controversy with his brother or trash his old network.
