Are we absolutely sure these hours are Atlanta produced? Or, could this be a temporary situation while CNN move from CNN Center to Techwood?
Fredricka Whitfield has subbed for various anchors in the past from NYC at Columbus Circle. I can't work it out.
Yes, those hours are primarily produced from Atlanta. Control room and most producers and writers are in Atlanta. SOME staff are in NY as well.
Still... I'm not sure why Fred has to be in NY. But it could be due to studio staffing. They're staffed up for these hours to be anchored out of NY, not Atlanta. So it might actually be easier and cost less to just have her do it from there? It's possible. And it probably looks better than just having her out of an Atlanta flash.
And maybe she also wants some face time with bosses like Chris Licht?
Techwood move has not happened yet.
