CNN is a cartoon now.<br />Bring on the cartoon anchors and let's see if it makes a difference. My prediction: A cartooon of Anderson Cooper may very well increase his ratings...it couldn't hurt. He could do the voice overs and it would be an original right from the start.<br />Now there's something Jeff Zucker can take to the bank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-78847961572865652152014-01-28T10:41:11.050-05:002014-01-28T10:41:11.050-05:00It is now being reported by FTVlive that Jeff Zuck...It is now being reported by FTVlive that Jeff Zucker is looking to replace Kate Bolduan on New Day and is looking for a new role for her to return to Washington DC.<br /><br />If you ask me, I think Robin Meade should be poached from HLN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-5618600731419309312014-01-28T09:56:31.568-05:002014-01-28T09:56:31.568-05:00AJAM does have the potential to be different .
Peo...AJAM does have the potential to be different .<br />People are also cord cutting or downsizing to<br />the most basic cable channels. Facebook has<br />already announced that they have more people<br />in prime time than TV. Since TV is fading Obama<br />is making a huge social media puss for his SOTU.<br />I still watch 360 on CNN. Anderson had a good<br />and emotional interview with Creigh Deeds.<br /><br />AJAM is covering and bringing us stories that none<br />of the others are doing and that includes ABC,CBS,<br />& NBC. AJAM is a work in progress. CNN , MSNBC &<br />FNC are not getting newer viewers. Love America <br />Tonight and The Stream ,Tech Know are more<br />modern shows. Consider This coves some very<br />interesting topics at times, Of course, the ratings<br />are low for AJAM they have to find viewers. I<br />could see Consider this making waves at noon.<br />It looks like the show is recorded to me. When<br />you look at what is on the cable news landscape<br />at 12 PM it would stand out. Especially with CNN<br />moving Legal View to noon. I would also love<br />to see The Stream cover multiple topics as well<br />as some AJ+, once it gets rolling. CNN, MSNBC<br />& FNC are not going to change. It's a mistake<br />for ALAM to imitate them. Do your own thing<br />and present yourself as a real news alternative.<br />Cable news has to adapt and use social media<br />to connect the news with viewers.

He used to be. But now the NRA is running the country and we all know it.<br />We might as well have Wayne himself give the State of the Union address, for it is He who is legislating.<br />Has our President just become a figure head?<br />Ask yourself that when he begins to speak, and if makes NO mention whatsoever about guns, the answer is unfortunately, is in the affirmative.<br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-32972510069606503712014-01-27T10:03:38.861-05:002014-01-27T10:03:38.861-05:00Later this week, the ratings will be released for ...Later this week, the ratings will be released for cable news and it won't be pretty for CNN. Look for FOX and MSNBC to be down too. AAJAM still has a very long way to go but needs to stop trying to be like all of the other cable news channels. The Steam should be on from 730-9 PM. News on social media is way better than the same churn churn news on cable news. Get the viewers involved. Keep America Tonight on 9 and move Prime News to 10 PM. Consider This should be live a 9 AM or noon. GIve that Rob guy a sports show at 11 PM. Sports highlights get viewers.<br />As long as Jeff Zucker is at CNN, nothing will change for the better. Poynter says CNN laid off some 40 journalists at the end of 2013. CNN is putting on a really bad product. Also, a recent study showed that viewers just don't like cable news. Viewers are hip they know news when they see it and it can't be found on the dail. However, AJAM could possibly fix that but that could take a couple of years. Viewers are skeptical when they hear another cable news channel is now available.<br />CNN says they do news but that's not true. With the Olympics coming CNN ratings will continue to dive. MSNBC will be carrying some Olympic coverage so they will get a huge bump in the ratings. Someone needs to come up with a real time news model,original reporting and interviews with people who are connected to news evernts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-70754191666148718412014-01-25T23:13:51.596-05:002014-01-25T23:13:51.596-05:00If Greta Van Susteren, according to TVN, thinks Ju...If Greta Van Susteren, according to TVN, thinks Justin Bieber is important in covering a "mix of the news," she's wrong.

Segments he does with 60Minutes show how good he can be. It seems CNN news is one sided <br /><br />politically &like AC in particular is limited in what he csn say or ask. I watch the program from BC Canada he is my choice for good world news. He started the AC360Later <br />program but it is always being jacked around todifferent time or not on at all which is a problem considering time zones.Also I doubt you have a way of registering what programs Canadian viewers are watching. Who wants to watch Anthony Boudsin all evening or some specialthatcould be shown on weekends. I have enjoyedDon Lemon filling in for Erin Burnett he hss had some good discussions going etc. If CNN wants to be a leader in thd ness area theyhave to use the good staff they have &not ha ve everyone repeating what the last guy has just reported Everyone has areas they are more interested in so use ghem in that way &give the encouragement &recognition needed. Praise works wonders. As a last thought maybe a big changebis needed as CNN ratings should be better you certainly have some staff that can effect that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-6108041009112438552014-01-24T23:45:07.929-05:002014-01-24T23:45:07.929-05:00CNN can no longer be counted on for "Breaking...CNN can no longer be counted on for "Breaking News" coverage and higher ratings.

Hopefully if this ever happened, it would be by the 2016 American presidential election year. 2014 and 2015 will be worse than ever for CNN USA, especially under Jeff Zucker. Mark my words. This replacement idea would be a smart move.<br /><br />CNN USA's neutral anchors would hop over to CNN International of course. If you look at any past big breaking news stories or political events in the United States, there has ALWAYS been a simulcast with CNN International. So why not? Save the name, save the brand, save money and distance CNN from the opinionated FOX "news" or opinionated MSNBC "news". All the ratings talk the past few years gets in the head of viewers.
