Piers Morgan Air Jordan 1 Retro Womens For Sale , speaks during a taping of CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight at the annual Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) meeting on September 25, 2013 in New York City CNN president Jeff Zucker has decided to end television host Piers Morgan's show after its ratings plunged, sources at the television network said.
The former British tabloid editor -- who irked conservative Americans after launching somewhat of a crusade for greater gun control measures -- struggled after stepping into the shoes of popular, down-to-earth host Larry King in the coveted 9:00 pm primetime slot.
King, an 80-year-old talk show star who now hosts a show broadcasting on Hulu, Ora TV and Russia's RT television Air Jordan 1 Retro Womens , is known for his ability to connect immediately and easily with ordinary Americans. He hosted "Larry King Live" on CNN from 1985 to 2010, wearing his trademark wide-rimmed glasses, shirt with rolled-up sleeves and suspenders.
Morgan, in contrast, was inherently British and not just in his accent. In particular, he made repeated references to cricket Jordan 1 Retro Womens For Sale , a sport with little US presence, and professed his ignorance about American football and preference for the round football, soccer.
"CNN confirms that 'Piers Morgan Live' is ending," CNN vice president of communications Barbara Levin told AFP. "The date of the final program is still to be determined."
US media reports said the show could end as early as next month but that Morgan may stay with CNN in another role.
In an interview with The New York Times, Morgan said the show had "run its course," adding that he and Zucker "have been talking for some time about different ways of using me."
He also acknowledged the show was underperforming.
"It's been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings Jordan 1 Retro Womens ," Morgan said, adding that the show suffered especially on slow news days.
"Look, I am a British guy debating American cultural issues, including guns, which has been very polarizing, and there is no doubt that there are many in the audience who are tired of me banging on about it Air Jordan 1 Retro Mens For Sale ," he added

BERLIN, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Two early goals and two late goals were enough for ruthless France to sweep aside Italy 4-0 in the final of the UEFA U-19 EURO in Sinsheim, Germany on Sunday.
Ludovic Batelli's men staged a faultless performance against Italy as goals from Jean-Kevin Augustin, Ludovic Blas, Lucas Tousart and Issa Diop wrapped up France's third U-19 title.
Italy started the final on the front foot yet France caught a fairy tale start in front of 25,100 spectators after Jean-Kevin Augustin utilized a through ball to shrug off two defenders to slot past Italy goalkeeper Alex Meret with eight minutes into the game.
Italy were shocked and unable to respond whereas "Les Bleus" gained momentum to double the advantage with 20 minutes played as Clement Michelin's cross into the box found Ludovic Blas at the near post.
Paolo Vanoli's men tried to recover from the setback but neither Andrea Favilli nor Manuel Locatello were able to reduce the arrears before the break.
After the restart, Italy's efforts remained fruitless as France tripled the lead late in the game when Filippo Romagna deflected Lucas Tousart's shot on target unstoppable in the 83rd minute. The 3-0 took the wind out of Italy's sails meanwhile France were not done with the scoring as Issa Diop headed home Christ-Emmanuel Maouassa's perfect cross into the box to round off the powerful display, which allowed the Frenchmen to clinch their third EURO title.
