CNN’s Anderson Cooper Returns To Haiti With Struggling Ratings

Cable news ratings, July 12, 2010: Check out the highlights, and see the full ratings below:

• We know, we know, it’s not about the ratings. But Anderson Cooper returned to Haiti for the six month anniversary since the deadly earthquake, and the Monday night broadcast saw low ratings. The 10pmET show finished 4th in the A25-54 demographic and 3rd in total viewers. When Cooper spent significant amount of time covering the story in January, his show saw a ratings bump.

• Glenn Beck was bounced out of the #2 spot on cable news Monday, finishing behind five other FNC programs in the demo.
