TVNewser is reporting that 'CNN's longtime correspondent at the New York Stock Exchange, Susan Lisovicz, is leaving the network.
A CNN insider told them that Lisovicz told colleagues last week that she will be leaving the network after her contract was not renewed.'
We don't know exactly when Lisovicz began her tenure at CNN but this photo of her doing Headline News dates from the early 1990's.
ATC had a tip about this in yesterday's comments (Susan Candiotti post) but couldn't confirm it. It's a tough time to be working at CNN if you're female and over 40.

Out of the Box
My post was bumped on Wednesday night because of BA's excellent q & a with John King. I'd like to thank Mr. King for taking the time to respond to our questions and to BA for the fine job she did.
I hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend? Our friends at CNN don't seem to know what down time is. So with that in mind we going to start a new weekly feature here at ATC called 'Out of the Box' (thanks to BA for the title suggestion). Every Wednesday (unless bumped by a q & a or breaking news) I will bring you the latest on what CNN's anchors and reporters are up to when they are away from the studio. Who knows, maybe we'll come across a personal appearance in your neighborhood? ~Phebe

A Little Bit of Good News
After a disastrous week on Wall Street last week, Monday brought the hopes of some good news finally.
Rick Sanchez and Susan Liscovicz take a look at the big wall during the closing bell.
For the first time in a week, Wolf Blitzer's breaking news about the economy was of the historic rebound and not a huge free fall.
Campbell Brown was joined by Ali Velshi to discuss the happenings of the day.
I hope this is the beginning of an upturn for the global economy. Hopefully we will start going up from here. I will be back again next week. Have a great one ~ Sapphire

Sanjay's Busy Weeks and Clips
Dr. Sanjay Gupta has a full schedule for the next couple of weeks according to two CNN press releases.
CNN’s Fit Nation Team Steps Up to Build New Orleans Playground
CNN, Cox Communications Provide Money, Manpower to KaBOOM! to Fix Katrina-Damaged Playground
CNN and Cox Communications New Orleans recently made a contribution to KaBOOM!, a national non-profit organization that empowers communities to build playgrounds, to continue their long-term commitment to the renewal of the New Orleans community after Hurricane Katrina. CNN’s Fit Nation, a multi-platform initiative to stop obesity, will launch its first activity in 2008 at Pontiff Park in Metairie, La., to emphasize the benefits of a healthy lifestyle as the region continues its recovery from nearly three years ago.
As part of that contribution, CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta and other CNN employees will join volunteers from the community and Cox Communications New Orleans to rebuild the playground at Pontiff Park on Saturday, June 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (CT). The park design is based on drawings provided by children from the community who attended a KaBOOM! “Design Day” event in April.
Gupta will also tape House Call with Dr. Sanjay Gupta from the build site, interviewing local community leaders who come out to help. House Call is a program dedicated to the latest health and medical developments and airs on Saturdays and Sundays from 7:30 to 8 a.m. (CT).
“I had the opportunity to see the destruction Katrina caused first-hand while I was reporting from New Orleans after the hurricane,” Gupta said. “I’m glad that Fit Nation can contribute to the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast region by creating a space for the community to use in achieving an active lifestyle.”
Hurricane Katrina damaged the park when five feet of water covered the grounds for nearly two weeks. The new playground will provide more than 10,000 children annually with a place to play in Jefferson Parish.
Video excerpts of the build will appear on www.CNN.com/FitNation, which also includes an interactive special section featuring fitness success stories, tips for staying fit and weekly updates from Gupta and CNN’s medical unit.
The playground build marks the first Fit Nation activity in 2008. CNN’s Fit Nation initiative began in 2006 as an ongoing multi-platform initiative to stop obesity and encourage healthier lifestyles. Over the past two years, Fit Nation and Gupta have traveled across the country engaging people in their own communities to get more active and develop local programs to meet the challenges of being overweight. In July and August, the Fit Nation mobile tour will visit cities across the United States, including Dallas, Seattle, Minneapolis, Minn., and Columbus, Ohio.
CNN to Focus Spotlight on Saving World’s Children with Global Broadcast
Dr. Sanjay Gupta Anchors July 6 Special with UNICEF Ambassador Lucy Liu, Musician Joel Madden
CNN will focus a lens on the world’s children in harm’s way and examines child survival issues in-depth during its global broadcast, The Survival Project: One Child at a Time. Anchored by CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the special will focus on healthcare, education, water sanitation and protection from violence for children. UNICEF ambassador Lucy Liu and Good Charlotte musician Joel Madden join Gupta as panelists for the program and speak about their experiences with UNICEF. Following recent crises in Myanmar and China, CNN viewers moved by the devastating stories and images are looking for ways to help. In May, the month of the devastating natural disasters in both nations, the “Impact Your World” special section on CNN.com more than doubled the previous month’s page view numbers for users looking for information on how to help. Shot in high-definition television before an audience at the Alliance Theater inside Atlanta’s High Museum of Art, The Survival Project: One Child at a Time will premiere on Sunday, July 6, at 8 p.m. and will replay at 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. All times Eastern. The broadcast will be simulcast on CNN and CNN International.
Clay Aiken, Dayle Haddon, Joel Madden, Ne-Yo, Nicole Ritchie, Al Roker, Marcus Samuelsson and Amare Stoudemire appear in special video diaries of their volunteer experiences and encourage viewers to help children around the world.
For the first time since the United Nations began tracking child mortality, the number of children who die each year before their fifth birthday has dropped below 10 million. Bringing the stories of these children to CNN viewers from four continents, Gupta and international correspondents Wilf Dinnick, Jill Dougherty and Dan Rivers will brief viewers on the challenges that remain to save more lives through the innovative works of organizations such as UNICEF. The United Nations Children’s Fund operates in more than 150 countries in an effort to reduce the child mortality rate everywhere.
Gupta will report on the 1,500 children who live with HIV/AIDS in Peru, as well as those orphaned by the disease. From Laos, Rivers will report on the impact of the second largest worldwide killer of children under age five – a lack of clean drinking water. Dougherty will report from Baghdad on children who have been displaced due to war and conflict. Dinnick will report from Ethiopia on how vaccinations and nutritional supplements are saving the lives of children and pregnant women.
ATC sends belated birthday wishes to Rob Marciano who celebrated his birthday on Wednesday June 25th.
Time for clips from CNN programming this week.
Betty Nguyen, TJ Holmes and Fredricka Whitfield during Saturday's News Room discussed the possibility of clothing optional newscast. On Sunday's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer, Wolf ended his show by fulfilling a request from Luke Russert, son of the late Tim Russert.During the tease for Situation Room on Monday Kyra Phillips and Don Lemon asked Wolf about his love for dogs. After the tease Susan Lisovicz joined the conversation.During Situation Room, Jack Cafferty shared with Wolf what he did on his day off. Sounds like Jack did not enjoy this activity as much as I did when I did it.Thursday's American Morning had John Roberts, Kiran Chetry and Allen Chernoff discuss gas and beer. I have to agree with John's remedy but to be honest the Canadian beer from John's yesteryear would probably work better.

Everyone won a timeslot this week. MSNBC won the Adult Viewers 25 - 54 ratings for the 8PM time slots. As a result of the way that FOX coded their 8PM program, the weekly average includes Tuesday night which was the Kentucky and Oregon primary results. Wednesday night is the only night that FOX did better than MSNBC.
FOX won the 9PM timeslot for the week. CNN's Larry King Live did very well on Friday since he was interviewing the American Idol contestants.
CNN once again took 10PM. Monday night was the only night that CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 didn't have the highest number of viewers Adult 25 - 54.
Tuesday, May 20th was the Kentucky and Oregon Primary results and each of the networks did something a little bit different with the way that they coded their coverage.
| HOUR | FOX | CNN | MSNBC | |
| 7PM | 445,000 | 374,000 | 426,000 | Winner: FOX |
| 8PM | N/A | 488,000 | 513,000 | Winner: MSNBC. FOX listed regular programming. |
| 9PM | N/A | 571,000 | 423,000 | Winner: CNN. FOX listed regular programming. |
| 10PM | 485,000 | N/A | 571,000 | Winner: MSNBC. CNN listed regular programming. |
| 11PM | 424,000 | 528,000 | 451,000 | Winner: CNN. |
1 4 day average. Tuesday primary coverage excluded.
2 3 day average used to calculate MSNBC 9PM average. Calculation doesn't include Tuesday (primary results) or Friday (David Gregory).
3 3 day average used to calculate FOX 10PM average. Calculation doesn't include Tuesday (primary results) or Friday (Crime Scene).

Here's an interesting note from the News To Me Newsletter:
Nicole Lapin is back
Her fans on CNN.com/Live know she never left of course, but we're glad she's back with us on "News To Me." This weekend Nicole sits down with Eric to give us a look at the best stuff on iReport.com and CNN.com.
News To Me airs on CNN Headline News on Saturdays and Sundays at 7:30 p.m., 9:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. ET. The program is hosted by Eric Lanford. Another interesting item, News To Me has their own blog now: http://ntm.blogs.cnn.com/. Today's post showed Eric Lanford sitting in the middle of a parking lot.
The end might just be in sight for the primary elections. This time last year we were speculating on when or if Fred Thompson was going to enter the race. During last week's This Week in Politics, Tom Foreman highlighted the humor that has appeared in modern politics.
TJ Holmes just didn't quite know what to say about Susan Lisovicz' report on the interpretive dance that was taking place outside the New York Stock Exchange.
Did you know that you can get a Larry King text message? This is a new feature that started last Friday.

In Other News...
Our favorite terrorism expert made a couple of appearances yesterday -- he was scheduled on Late Edition along with New America Foundation President/CEO Steve Coll to discuss the latter's new book about the bin Laden family, but the Taliban attack in Kabul was also discussed:
Professor Bergen also spoke with Rick Sanchez on NewsRoom about the attack:
Elsewhere... did you know that coal can be used to make gasoline? Ali Velshi spoke with the CEO of a South African company that is doing just that. It's not ready for use in the US yet (imagine the regulatory commissions that would have to pass! imagine the fights from Big Oil!) but it is an interesting future possibility. Although we still need to find a safer way to get the coal out of the ground...
And on Friday, CNN founder Ted Turner was at the NYSE and spoke with Susan Lisovicz about an anti-malaria campaign supported by the United Nations Foundation, "Nothing But Nets," the rising price of food and oil around the world, and ways to conserve our resources:
Last night, the AP ran a story about the next venture of former CNN anchor Aaron Brown:
Ex-CNN anchor Aaron Brown returns to TV on PBS' `Wide Angle'By LYNN ELBER
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Aaron Brown, the former CNN anchor who found cable TV an awkward fit, is joining PBS' "Wide Angle" series and ending his on-air absence of more than two years.
"If I was going to do broadcast journalism again, be a public person again ... then it had to be something different from what I'd done," Brown told The Associated Press. "You can count on one hand how many gigs there are like this."
Anchoring "Wide Angle," a weekly public affairs series with a global focus, offers the chance "to work in an environment where people just think about making good TV and good journalism," Brown said.
"By the end (of an episode), you understand the world you live in and how it's connected to you," he said Saturday.
Brown, 59, who left CNN in November 2005 during a shake-up that gave his time slot to rising star Anderson Cooper, said he was contractually barred from working in TV until last June. He's been teaching at Arizona State University as its first Walter Cronkite Professor of Journalism.
"Wide Angle" begins its seventh season July 1. PBS planned to announce Brown's hiring on Monday.
Brown has distinguished himself as an anchor by avoiding a "booming voice-of-God" approach and instead delivering news as a storyteller, said Stephen Segaller, director of national production at Thirteen/WNET, the New York station that produces "Wide Angle."
Besides his distinctive on-camera demeanor, Brown has "a good sense of what international stories will mean to American audiences and how the stories will play," Segaller said.
Brown contrasted the work he expects to do at PBS with how cable television operated at times during his tenure.
"I don't want to get into the business of indicting cable TV, but some of what went on was just television, not journalism," he said. Expanding on his comments, he said that cable TV is a tough business that can be pushed into focusing on sensational, "tabloidy stories."
"I understand why they do it. It's a very ratings-driven environment," Brown said.Before joining CNN, Brown worked at ABC as a reporter on programs including "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings" and "Nightline" and as anchor of "World News Tonight Saturday" and "World News Now."
His first day at CNN was Sept. 11, 2001, and his heartfelt anchoring from a rooftop in Manhattan immediately thrust him into a major role there. But expectations that he would become the face of the network didn't pan out.
Brown's quirky, cerebral 10 p.m. newscast had a following with fans who enjoyed his commentaries and "The Whip," a quick review of top international stories, but he lost ratings ground to Greta Van Susteren of Fox News Channel.
CNN chose to showcase its hotter personality, Cooper, whose profile had grown in 2005 and peaked during Hurricane Katrina coverage. Brown's time slot went to Cooper and Brown left by what CNN termed mutual agreement.
Reflecting on his time at the channel, Brown said he became "oddly emblematic" of what he termed an "anti-tabloid guy."
"I didn't practice the `high church' of journalism all the time, but I think there was some sense that I was uncomfortable in that other, tabloidy world, and I think viewers knew that and I couldn't pull it off," he said.
Besides serving as anchor of "Wide Angle" and helping prepare episodes for broadcast, Brown plans to do field work on a story, possibly involving Venezuela or the Middle East. Topics to be covered this season include the crisis in the Sudan and the changing role of Japan's military.
Finally... I've already bemoaned the decision to stop devoting one single hour per week to the wars we are currently fighting in order to give us yet another hour of politics. At the same time, we all love Tom Foreman's quirky sense of humor. But can anyone explain to me why the heck Tom was covering celebri-gossip on his show this week? Uh....?
That's it for today. See you next week!
