Not enough TV sets for McEnroe

Match over: CNBC is finally pulling the plug on John McEnroe’s low-rated talk show, effective at the end of the year. The former tennis star launched the program just last July and had been drawing a mere 75,000 viewers on average at 7 p.m.

Coming in the show’s place sometime in January is the now once-a-week “Big Idea With Donny Deutsch,” hosted by the outspoken advertising executive.
