Both Victor and Boris are likely to be off-air for a while as they shift things around and probably do piloting in the background.
In Victor’s case, he will have to move (again!) this time from NY to Atlanta and not the other way around.
Well, it did not take Boris long to step into Victor's shoes, as he already presented today's Newsroom 2pm-4pm with Jessica Dean. He did not have to move anywhere, after all!
It makes one wonder what was the point of him moving to weekdays now and not before the launch of the revamped daytime - are they doing pilots on weekends? John Berman, who is also to become a News Central fixture, was busy today in the 9-11am Newsroom as well.
Although it is interesting that today Boris, John, Brianna Keilar and Kate Bolduan have all been presenting in the time slots that will soon become parts of their respective shows: while Kate still anchors At This Hour at 11am, Brianna did 1pm single-headed hour.
On a separate note, CNN This Morning today tried to present headlines at the TOTH as "5 things" segments. For that purpose in the first hour, when they did it live, they even used the wide videowall behind the anchors that has been always used just as a backdrop.
In the second hour they opted for prerecorded snippets of "5 things" (much like the weekend's Newsroom headlines) and... mixed up the graphics for the first two stories.
