Wow. She was one of my favourite anchors.

Watched some of this show. It was epic. A spectacular production for a news channel.

CNN does a solid effort for big events like NYE, elections and Fourth of July celebrations to name a few.

CNN has announced the team of presenters for its new morning show: Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlyn Collins. It looks like Chris Licht is going to take the CBS This Morning route for the overhauled morning program.

This morning show sounds good.
Wonder if it will be on CNNi.
Any guesses on what happens in PrimeTime?
