The newsman's daily talk show, Anderson Live, will not return for a third season due to discouraging ratings, the syndication arm of Warner Bros. TV decided, according to The New York Times .
"I am very proud of the work that our terrific staff has put into launching and sustaining our show for two seasons," Cooper, 45, said in a statement. "I look forward to doing more great shows this season, and though I'm sorry we won't be continuing, I have truly enjoyed it."
The cancelation, set to take effect after the summer of 2013, is more of a testament to the market than a reflection on the veteran journalist, an anonymous studio executive explained to The Times. Even changes to the show for its sophomore season, including a live format and the introduction of co-hosts, did not increase its popularity.
But Cooper, a prime-time fixture on CNN, is clearly keeping busy covering Hurricane Sandy (a.k.a. Frankenstorm). "I will be along the New Jersey shore tonight," he Tweeted Monday.
