It was the only programme I enjoyed. But since Licht left you can tell its mercilessly getting tinkered with. I imagine as some point they will probably reformat it to a talking head panel show. Because they are cheap. And Im not surprised they didnt announce anything new from CNN International.The only positive I can see with this new shakeup is that Phil Mattingly has landed the co-anchor spot with Polly Harlow on 'CNN This Morning'. I am utterly shocked that Alisyn Camerota has been sidelined. IMO she is such an incredile talent at CNN, been a fan since she was hired!
Absolutely choked at Kasie Hunt landing Early Start over Rahel Solomon.
Aghast at shifting Abby Phillip to 10PM, she'll be missed as a core part of the Political panel.
Also, how is cutting News Central down to two hours going to work with having three anchors?
Why is Smerconish still on the schedule? He's been sidelined from any major event coverage for a number of years, so why not just dispose of. Unbearable viewing.
I wasn't a fan of Chris Licht, but I think he got things almost in balance toward the end. This latest remix is not a work of art by any means.
I'm very passionate about CNN, not so much about this latest hot mess of crap!
