From there, the station saw its ratings slip dramatically.

Putin's ratings slipped and his Sept. 24 announcement that he would return to the presidency was not well received.

The show's ratings were always below the station's average and even slipping over the course of the run until it was cancelled in March 2011.

Despite the schedule change, the show continued to do well until the fall of 1972, when the ratings slipped.

But now that rating has slipped to 36 percent.

I can understand why the show's ratings are slipping.

A disappointing line-up, though, meant ratings soon slipped to around 2m.

It is now down to three, and the program's ratings have been slipping.

The fact that the ratings had slipped made the decision to sign off all the easier.

But on Saturday, the overnight ratings slipped by 26 percent.
