Morgan replaced Larry King in anchoring the 9 p.m. slot three years ago, but suffered low viewership and, at times, pushback over his views on American issues, especially his strong support of gun control.
The cancellation was expected, according to industry insiders, and Morgan is talking with CNN about taking on a different role.
“It’s been a painful period and lately we have taken a bath in the ratings,” he told the New York Times.
