Flexible, friendly and dynamic - but still serious. They went too far in one direction (too much icing, not enough cake), and now they've gone too far in the other (staid and dull). CNN have, for once, got it right.
John Berman has always had the ability to be able to throw some comedy, playfulness into his presenting and it's a treat this new format has afforded them to take part.
Kate Bolduan just fluffed her lines while throwing to a break so Berman corrected her while they moved around set. Bolduan's face was a picture! (I think she was probably thinking 'F you Berman'. Really great viewing.
Back from the break and Sara Sidner has commenced with Breaking News of an active shooter in Louisville. It shows it can quickly adapt from light hearted banter between anchors to very serious news without it feeling weird and awkward.
