CNN unveils cable TV's worst-kept secret: the retooling of ratings-cursed
American Morning in all its varied incarnations. It's
Back To The Future as Soledad O'Brien is recycled to anchor what CNN is billing
"a new conversational ensemble program" 7-9a debuting in 2012. (In 2007 CNN jettisoned Soledad and her unrelated namesake, Miles O'Brien, for John Roberts and ex- Fox News eye candy Kiran Chetry.) Roberts later left for Fox; Chetry left last summer for
Parts Unknown. Read
the press release.
Ashleigh Banfield, with a resume as long as Keith Olbermann's, is on 5-7a duty. Banfield used to be on MSNBC until she pissed off suits and was dispatched to NBC's equivalent of
the former Soviet Union's Gorky. See
CNN's Musical Chairs.

ReplyDeleteI think "The Five" ripped off "The Talk". which ripped off "The View". Seems to be working out though, five in the morning, not so much.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I forgot about those shows, Jo. I was just thinking about actual news shows.
