Anchorwoman earned a paltry 1.0 rating in adults 18-49 for Fox. It’s not a good sign when your reality show about a bimbo newscaster achieves the same ratings as actual newscasts on WBBM-Channel 2.
And you thought the Baltimore Orioles had a bad night…
UPDATE: Anchorwoman was canceled today, marking the first time Fox has yanked a show after one episode since The Rich List last year. The show will be burned off at Fox.com.
