CNN has been running an ad saying 360 is on at 8 & 10 PM tonight. Now that the Arias trial is on verdict watch CNN is in full Arias mode like HLN. Jeff Zucker likely doesn't care when HLN has a big trial and tops CNN. Why do you think they are going wall to wall ? The verdict will come done some time this week.

Have you guys noticed the return of Around The World with the new look and Stephanie Elam is back on CNN.

What's with Wolf Blitzer being on midday hosting newsroom?

Yes, the verdict on HLN will come down some time this week and then they have to analyze that verdict to death...which in turn will bring viewers, possibly the same ones they had before, but still big numbers.
And the best part is, at least for HLN, there's always another trial.
Have we forgotten the Boston Bomber?
Oh, just think of those numbers and that verdict? It will be bigger than OJ and Nancy Grace will surely be in her glory.

Around The World has a real high tech feel to it now with the computerized desk and camera angles. The pace also seemed faster. Good to know that CNN is committing to the show.

Amanpour was on Jon Stewart last night -- smart lady as always. She should be simulcast on CNN Domestic.

CNN needs a complete graphics overhaul. Too much
junk is on the screen. Less is better.

Amazing. Betty Nguyen instagrams a pic of her with Reynolds Wolf. You would not believe the number of responses calling for a Betty, TJ & Reynolds reunion on CNN. Maybe it will happen. They were a good team.

With the breaking news out of Cleveland , why is CNN going with Amanda Knox at 10 PM. This should air on the weekend. Stick with the news that is playing out and not a taped interview. We literally got to see this story play out live last night on 360. The interview with Charles Ramsey, the man who helped Amanda Berry, has gone viral. It ran on 360 last night. Fox & MSNBC were late getting to the breaking news.

I like Betty and TJ but CNN was right to dump that bobble-headed moron Reynolds Wolf.

The Chris Cuomo Amanda Knox Special runs for
90 minutes. The 2nd 360 is just 30 minutes at
11:30 PM tonight.

JS was talking about how the pundits keep CNN from having an intelligent conversation. Wonder if he caught the 360 experiment. The mystery guests are fine but make sure they are not pundits. He jokes about CNN because he cares. There are those of us who want CNN to be successful with news .

People want now,new & fresh news. Theory : that is why
MSNBC is taking a hit in the ratings. The breaking news out of Ohio had to the top demo on Monday according to TV NEWSER. CNN has the resources to constantly update news content and add new stories all day long.
All day long MSNBC does rotating talking heads tired worn out subjects by the time prime time rolls around.
It's nothing new and MSNBC is going down in the ratings dayside too. Television is a visual medium. It is not talk radio. Video is the greatest weapon.

Viewers want now, new & fresh news. The ratings for 360 at 10 prove that on Monday. 360 won the demo for the entire day. CNN needs to use their news resources as it;s greatest weapons. MSNBC's talkfest panels are stating to tank dayside and prime time.
24/7 political channels won't work. You gotta do some news. CNN's first concern has to be viewers and not ideologues, who really don't watch CNN.

Conversations have to mean something to viewers. Television is a visual medium. Video maters so does the guests. Stop leaving viewers out of the picture.
Constantly update the news content and add items from CNN talent all day . CNN needs to have people on the network who know their stuff and are definitely interesting for viewers to watch.

According to TVN, MSNBC has come up with a rather unique title for their early morning broadcast.
It is called "Way Too Early" which begins at 5:30 and while this is not too early, many people are up and moving around by then, titles are important.
Like book titles, it is the name that catches your attention, makes you want to read or watch...it grabs us.
Something like "Starting Point," on CNN makes us want to roll over and go to back to sleep.
Good Luck with that.

Does anyone know what's up with the 3PM live audience AC360 edition on Friday? Townhall, studio live audience, something done before or a new experiment?
