CBS Mornings experiences a sharp decline in viewership following the firing of 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley, according to reports from multiple outlets. The Independent and Mediaite both describe the ratings slump as occurring in the immediate aftermath of the personnel change and characterize it as a significant downturn versus the June average. Mediaite reports that the show is at risk of having its “worst-rated June ever,” framing the drop as a notable fall in audience performance. The Independent similarly says viewership falls by several hundred thousand from the June average right after Pelley’s firing. Both accounts link the timing of the ratings weakness directly to the firing, though neither provides detailed methodology or broader context in the excerpts provided. The reports focus on the magnitude of the decline and the possibility of record-low monthly performance, rather than attributing causation beyond the reported temporal connection to the firing. They also do not specify whether the ratings are from total viewers, specific demographics, or particular time slots.
