CNN Considering Reality Shows and Talk Shows to Boost Ratings

Because who watches the news anymore?

Because apparently no one watches the news anymore, CNN is reportedly considering adding reality and talk shows to the line-up in an effort to boost ratings, which have hit a 20-year low recently. According to Deadline, the official statement is that they're exploring "non-fiction original series for the weekend," but obviously it's just a matter of time before they reboot The Hills or something.

Apparently, the network was happy with their recent hiring of Anthony Bourdain to host a food and travel series that will air on the weekends, and is looking for more television personalities like him. They are also considering a View-like series to air late-nights on the weekend.
