mate...I would like for CNN to use some of the great<br />material from Time and Sports Illustrated as<br />well as the Life.com website.TW also owns AoL.<br />Perhaps they can form some sort of partnership<br />with Google and Yahoo as well as Facebook and<br />Vimeo and Youtube to get access to some great<br />material from a media savvy public.Recently,<br />there was a great article about Time Warner<br />under the management of Jeff Bewkes. He is<br />getting rave reviews. The article says TW needs<br />to buy other stations. I say Current should be<br />on that list. Making Current a part of CNN<br />could be a potential gold mine The new<br />season of Vanguard just started and Mariana<br />Van Zeller had an awesome doc called ' The<br />Oxycotin Express'. Of course Infomania is<br />one of the hottest shows around. It is smart<br />and witty and IMO better than the daily show.<br />Also, they have a guy by the name of <br />Douglas Cabellero who knows music in and<br />out it could be an awesome segment for<br />CNN.I say this because if cable news does<br />not adjust to a changing world they will<br />be in big trouble. I really like the Time.com<br />segment that has a guy singing a song about<br />the week's news in review.In fact, I can't<br />figure out why CNN does not have a half<br />hour show for Time and SI. A video version<br />of the magazine would be cool. Have the<br />reporters at the mags use the style for the<br />Heroes segments to make things interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-69973451318457668222009-10-19T14:37:42.561-04:002009-10-19T14:37:42.561-04:00@anonymous 8:35am, I don't think an all women ...@anonymous 8:35am, I don't think an all women show would work. I'm a woman and there is no way in hell I would watch that. No matter what the format is it would somehow end up like The View. I think it would be boring. What CNN needs to do is lay off the politics and panels. That would be a big improvement.On_Love_Street_With_Jim_Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569729631472721966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-45270692013397084022009-10-19T08:35:47.369-04:002009-10-19T08:35:47.369-04:00I said it before and I will say it again.
CNN shou...I said it before and I will say it again.<br />CNN should do a prime time news program<br />for women. Guess what : women are 52 %<br />of the US population and about to become<br />the majority work force. I can not believe<br />the media is just catching on to this. Have<br />one permanent host be it Kyra, Erica Hill<br />or Soledad but each week rotate the female<br />anchors and reporters for all of the CNN<br />properties. I mean a serious shown not<br />the view, which I can not stand or politics.<br />A serious news show please. Since many<br />of the women are getting college degrees<br />or higher. In fact 60 % of the people in<br />college are female. How the media missed<br />this is beyond me. I would like to see the<br />women be form diverse ethnic backgrounds.<br />I also think the show should be fast-paced<br />and informative at the same time. Do <br />something groundbreaking CNN. Let<br />me emphasis this again no political<br />pundits just the news mixed with music<br />that relate to women. Yes, set up a<br />companion website.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-91780033718313620392009-10-19T07:29:53.196-04:002009-10-19T07:29:53.196-04:00CNN needs to become a 24/7 mews channel

Drop Lou<br />Dobbs and Rick Sanchez if they want to gain<br />their reputation back as a serious news network.<br />Both these guys have problems with facts and<br />quite frankly they have helped make CNN a<br />laughing stock. It is also time to cancel Campbell<br />Brown's show. The show is just lousy and the<br />format stinks. Promote real journalists like<br />John Roberts. It defies logic why a journalist<br />who is rock solid is on the morning show.AM is<br />another bad show as well. Just have politics<br />on The Sit Room and State of the Union. Lose<br />the crawl and go to a format like when you<br />go to CNN.com that you can air going to <br />commercial and coming back.I 'm talking about<br />when you go to the site you will see the top<br />stories with a headline,picture and a sentence<br />about the story or just like Yahoo. Heck use<br />the Yahoo format to show the most popular<br />stories on CNN.com.<br /><br />Right now CNN looks like bad local news<br />and not an international news operation.<br />I know this is the 4th quarter in the business<br />cycle and changes usually will not happen <br />until 210, but this is a serious matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-11455935255583423342009-10-18T21:14:53.390-04:002009-10-18T21:14:53.390-04:00CNN can bring back the noon world news hour

on social...Yesterday Don Lemon had an great segment<br />on social media.It made me think Don Lemon<br />needs to anchor a news program that connects<br />CNN viewers with the news. Let viewers submit<br />real news items, none of the political back and<br />forth. The one thing I hear a lot these days is <br />that people are so sick of politics controlling<br />the news. Maybe you could go to CNN or<br />FaceBook and join a group to be able to submit<br />news items or stories you think are important.<br />I say Don because I noticed that viewers had<br />been sending him news about the balloon <br />boy via Twitter. The hope is that maybe <br />someone at CNN or CNN International or<br />stations from around the country that send<br />CNN daily items did a story related to the<br />ones being submitted by viewers. Personally,<br />I don't see why CNN can't give the viewers<br />their choices for a couple of hours each day.<br />I truly believe this is the next generation of<br />news and not just comments read on the<br />air. Not only that I think CNN needs to hook<br />up with independent writers, photographers<br />and filmmakers.Of course give the viewers<br />a shout out . It is a way of showing the<br />network's appreciation for it's viewers.Too<br />often these days cable news is too self<br />centered and the viewers don't matter.<br />Also, on weekends I would like to see<br />CNN have a program on technology<br />science and environment perhaps on the<br />weekend.I see things on weekends on<br />CNN and HLN that tells me that they are<br />trying to get some things going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
