Roland Martin:
Campbell Brown begins her eight week maternity leave in early April and CNN contributor Roland Martin will fill in as host in the 8 PM Eastern hour.
Thanks to Julie as always for all the research. ~Phebe
I am wondering if Roland Martin is
ReplyDeletethe beginning of many changes that
will be coming to CNN. They really
need to get rid of the single anchor
format and integrate more blogging,
tweets, internet, infographics,etc
appeal to modern society. When there
is really no big political story is there
any reason to have TSR on for 3 hours.
I like Wolf,but CNN needs some new
shows.
Now if CNN would run a news program
ReplyDeleteanchored by all women at 7 to replace
Lou Dobbs CNN might be on to something.
Women are now 52 % of the population.
One smart thing MSNBC did with Rachel
Maddow is to put a female who comes
across and smart and informed on
various issues. She is also on during
and hour when to annoying males
are on. Thus Rachel is filling a void
that has existed for years.
I think they should offer Soledad O'Brien the 8:00 PM spot. She meets all the requirements, including having ethnic diversity which is so important in today's society. Brown has to go, but not by Roland Martin, who could easily be substituted by Al Sharpton, not.
