They will be going to solo anchors<br />after the morning political shows and have opinion<br />starting at 4 and hour before HLN starts. Morning<br />Express finished ahead of MSNBC on Friday.<br />HLN is now clearly # 2 in the demo when it comes<br />to morning shows. Some of the things being talked<br />about here are already happening on HLN. Heck,<br />even Diane Sawyer now has a hip digital look.<br />I think ABC is going for the BBC look that seems<br />more of a theatre experience.. CNN has to <br />upgrade with graphics, banners, etc.<br />I also hope that in 2010 CNN will stop trying<br />to politicize everything. People are so over<br />this. On the 360 blog today there is a very<br />interesting post from Dr Gupta about the<br />e-mails he received during CNN's coverage<br />of the health care vote.He said the people<br />could care less about the politics they wanted<br />to know what i meant for them.CNN should<br />really listen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-73289653188245910852009-12-21T19:50:29.108-05:002009-12-21T19:50:29.108-05:00Poor Erica Hill had only 90,000 viewers in the dem...Poor Erica Hill had only 90,000 viewers in the demo watching her on 360 Friday.

I personally don't<br />think the place for politics is working for the<br />people over at MSNBC. That said I hope CNN<br />just keeps the politics on TSR and SOU and<br />definitely give each show it's identity and not<br />the same re-hash over and over again. Let<br />American Morn and all of the news hours have<br />their own correspondents to give each show<br />it's own identity, Let's hope CNN drops the<br />crawl and go with real time news. All day<br />long as they get news in, real time is <br />where things are going.I hope CNN has<br />a logo and banner redo. Too often things<br />interfere with the video.If you say you are<br />the worldwide news leader show me, give<br />the goods and live up to what your ads say.<br />IMO CBS has the best digital look and no<br />one comes close.At this point it will come<br />down to the moves that management will<br />make at both CNN & MSNBC. They need to<br />give way less face time to the pundits and<br />more to their very own people. One reason<br />why I feel there is so much confusion on <br />health care is that right after you see a<br />story or discussion a commercial airs and<br />is throwing out all kinds of accusations.<br />That is a problem : if your network is<br />making millions on health care, can you<br />be objective ? The world we live in now<br />people actually create media and trust<br />the main stream less because they play<br />with the facts and don;t keep things real.<br />Personally, I never liked the solo anchor<br />because that can be tricky. I hope CNN<br />also I hope CNN become the first fully<br />aggregated news channel. For example,<br />the big health stories of the day. Have an<br />info graphic in and out of commercial.<br />CNN has to re-invent itself and send<br />really strong signals that they have done<br />this. Let me explain how I envision real<br />time working : if Mac is coming out with<br />a new tablet and the news happens at<br />11 am slide the anchor over and show<br />the news that is happening every hour<br />as soon as it gets in and is confirmed.<br />Also to have the digital look use the<br />texting look that people relate to,<br />who doesn't send a text these days.<br />People are also talking less on phones<br />dot to this.<br /><br />Also you notice that whenever you go<br />on line there is always pics with banners<br />of what might interest you. Also use this<br />as a format to get more news by simply<br />running this before the break. Develop<br />a multi-media player for all of the <br />packages that air on CNN. Think about<br />in terms of I-tunes , there is a media<br />bar. On the left the total time and to<br />the right the remaining time. This also<br />applies to anything you watch on line.<br />TV news looks like a dinosaur.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-55718077809836306962009-12-20T21:45:12.285-05:002009-12-20T21:45:12.285-05:00"Our favorite 360 producer," I for one, ..."Our favorite 360 producer," I for one, don't even know who Jack Gray is, so don't assume he's my favorite, and if he's the reason 360 usually has such a poor show, he definitely isn't my favorite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-91268800879027647772009-12-20T19:19:55.555-05:002009-12-20T19:19:55.555-05:00The ratings on NYE for CNN is usually good because...The ratings on NYE for CNN is usually good because they really have little competition from the other networks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-32919695564739627042009-12-20T19:18:36.850-05:002009-12-20T19:18:36.850-05:00@11:46 AM: In case you didn't notice, there ar...@11:46 AM: In case you didn't notice, there are ALL anonymous posters here, both positive and negative and if CNN was doing that great, it wouldn't be in fourth place.
