*CNN is sinking deeper by the day.

First the cable news company had its worst single primetime in over a year on October 30, then it had its worst week since Jeff Zucker took over — and now the relaunched “Crossfire” has hit new lows, reports Deadline.com.

Resuscitated on Sept. 9 after eight years off the air, the political debate show pulled in just 233,00 viewers overall and a mere 59,000 among adults 25-54 between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Monday.

Full-hour time-slot rivals on Fox News Channel and MSNBC did a lot better — to put it mildly. FNC’s “Special Report” had 2.44 million viewers with 411,000 in the key news demo, while MSNBC’s Al Sharpton-hosted “PoliticsNation” had 707,000 total viewers and 170,000 among the 25-54s.

Monday’s results represent a significant drop from the October 3 high the Newt Gingrich, Stephanie Cutter, S.E. Cupp and Van Jones hosted show hit with 891,000 total viewers and 326,000 in the demo.

“Crossfire’s” previous viewership low was on Oct. 25 when it had 251,000 total viewers. The previous demo low was on Sept. 20 when it drew just 66,000 viewers among adults 25-54. The Sept. 9 debut of the show earlier this year had a modest 581,000 viewers and 171,000 in the demo.
