Huckabee's new network talk show is a ratings flop

As Media Matters noted earlier this month, Fox News host Mike Huckabee was given “a shot at broadcast television with a talk show on some Fox affiliates.”

Unfortunately for the former Arkansas Governor, the show doesn't appear to be doing too well. According to a report from Broadcasting & Cable:

Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's new talk show, which Fox is testing for six weeks this summer on seven stations, averaged a 0.6 rating/2 share in its Monday premiere. That's down 45% from its lead-in average of 1.1/4 and down 33% from its year-ago time period average.

As Huffington Post noted based on the Broadcasting & Cable report:

In some markets, the show drew 88% fewer viewers than its lead-in. The only market where “The Huckabee Show” outperformed its lead-in was Atlanta, B&C reports.
