Chris Cuomo is demanding that his bosses at NewsNation move his new show to a different time slot — his latest, desperate bid to improve his sagging viewership on the fledging cable-TV network, The Post has learned.
Cuomo — who joined NewsNation Oct. 3 after getting fired from CNN for secretly helping his older brother, ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, navigate a slew of sex scandals — is fuming about the lackluster performance of his nightly broadcast, which currently airs at 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, sources said.
In response, Cuomo recently has met with Michael Corn — the former ABC producer who became NewsNation’s president of news last year

Who does Mr. Cuomo think he is that he can demand a damn thing?

Even Jen Psaki got a gig on MSNBC. Cuomo is on a low end network no one ever heard of. His prima donna behavior is useless there. No ratings equals no respect.

The time slot's not the problem, Chris. Market forces are indicating you no longer have a career path on television news.

Look on the mirror, Chris to find the actual cause of low ratings; it ain't the time slot that's the problem. Do ya really think that 9:00 will mean more viewers? Against Tucker? Seriously? That's some magical thinking you're indulging in.

He can sink multiple time slots at once for his new employer.

There is a website that lets you build a resume in 15 minutes (unless your only entry is ''My Brother'').

Perhaps Chris "Cockroach" Cuomo can interview his brother, Andrew "Nursing Home Murderer/Sexual Harasser" Cuomo. Ratings audience may consist of family and "friends" and about 1,000 people.

I was willing to give NewsNation a chance, because of Dan Abrams, but when they hired Cuomo, I shut them off.

"demands"......carry a lot more weight at a TV outlet if you have an audience. Without viewers, nobody cares anything about you.
Fire him. He's just a loser. Always has been.
