Almost over? Not if CNN has anything to say about it!

Feb. 14, 2013, will go down in history as the first day Jeff Zucker’s dynamic new CNN really covered a breaking news story, like a sewage-soaked Carnival cruise blanket. Let’s take a look at how much broadcast time CNN dedicated to what will be remembered by many as Jeff Zucker’s Gulf War.

At 5 a.m., it began.

5 a.m. – 4 p.m. = 11 hours. 11 hours = 660 mins. That’s 37% of broadcast minutes dedicated to Poop Ship coverage.

The “Situation Room,” CNN’s premiere political show, dives in at 4 p.m.

4 p.m. – 7 p.m. = 3 hours. 3 hours = 180 mins. That’s 49% of broadcast minutes dedicated to Poop Ship coverage.

Erin Burnett takes over at 7 p.m.

That’s 63% of broadcast minutes dedicated to Poop Ship coverage.

Surprisingly, Anderson Cooper is nowhere to be found during this huge day for CNN. New guy Chris Cuomo answers the call.

That’s 61% of broadcast minutes dedicated to Poop Ship.

Donny Duetsch, in for Piers Morgan, gets his chance to impress Zucker with his ability to handle such a massive story.

That’s 73% of broadcast minutes dedicated to Poop Ship coverage.

As CNN heads into the home stretch, it keeps pace with Duetch’s wall-to-wall coverage.

That’s 72% of broadcast minutes dedicated to Poop Ship coverage.

In this 24-hour period, CNN dedicated 758 broadcast minutes to the Poop Ship. That’s 52% of the day.

Now let’s relieve CNN’s historic day with some of the Poop Ship’s most memorable chyrons.
