Steve Capus talks CNN…
As part of a David Folkenflik NPR News profile of Larry King, NBC News President Steve Capus was interviewed…
FOLKENFLIK: Yet, ratings at CNN have dropped sharply, across the board. Former APM anchor Campbell Brown recently quit, saying she could not meet the ideological and bombastic appeals of Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Bill O’Reilly of Fox News.
NBC News President Steve Capus oversees MSNBC. He says CNNs flagging fortunes mark a real shift.
Mr. STEVE CAPUS (MSNBC): If you think about what’s going on in our world right now, everything from wars on a couple of different fronts, a recession, that absolute disaster down in the Gulf – this is a time, when traditionally, CNN would’ve been cleaning up. Now what we see is, the audience is not going to them.
