It is now being reported that the 10PM hour of the AC360º repeat will be axed, making room for a big new hire.
John King is safe! He just renewed his contract according to FishbowlDC. Sadly, Candy Crowley might be leaving though. Also, Kate Bolduan will likely become an anchor for something,
C'mom CNN hire George Stromboulopoulos. Strombo is the man ,can help CNN out a lot. Dude makes the news hip and cool. Bring the show to CNN and make it run for 60 minutes again with the original format. Debrief and all of Strombo's unique interview and news show.
Everyone sits in the red chair with George. Let's hear those words it's your boyfriend with Sloan's Good In Everyone on CNN.
Anon 12:45 PM that comes from a British tabloid. It
makes sense for CNN to drop the repeat of 360 but
it not known which hour CNN will change. It seems
like leaving it on live at 8 PM is the best. The demo
race between Anderson and ED is getting really
interest
IMHO I think CNN should go with a ladies news show
at 9 PM and if possible hire Strombo for 10 PM. He
would likely top The Last Word and Greta. CNN will
get a killer demo that FNC nor MSNBC could touch
with 360, news with the ladies and Strombo.
Good move hiring Zain. She brings credibility and poise to a discipline that sorely needs it. Hopefully, she'll replace the woman who currently does stock reports and can never seem to get it right.
The other morning, facing what was billed as a deadly snowstorm headed for the NE US, the stock reporter Kosick? wanted to play with snowballs. I watch CNN in the morning for a quick update and I can tell you the woman never seems to have a clue.
Please replace the woman who does your stock reports in the morning.
