This whole reinvention thing hasn’t started well for CNN.

The network on Monday dipped to its worst nightly prime-time average in more than 10 years. An average of 327,000 total viewers tuned in from 8 to 11 p.m., according to the Nielsen Co. That’s the lowest since May 8, 2000 (326,000).

Larry King, in his final weeks as host in the 9 p.m. slot, delivered just 196,000 viewers for an interview with Afghanistan leader Hamid Karzai — the program’s lowest total in more than 10 years.
