Why can't they just close it down and save more money that way and maybe fire less people over on domestic and International. Plus, why not move Robin and her morning show over on CNN US, since she seems to actually have an audience, unlike many of CNN US' failed attempts at morning shows.
I'm sure they crunched the numbers, and determined that -- at least for now -- it's better to keep it running.
Sounds like it'll be a home to true crime stuff like Forensics Files.... which it already was except for Morning Express. It'll become another flavor of the "Investigation Discovery" channel.
I wouldn't be surprised if they completely rebrand soon and change the name away from HLN forever. Kind of like how the original Court TV became TruTV. TruTV initially had a block of live programming called In Session, which eventually got phased out.
Or maybe they eventually sell the channel? There were rumors years ago about selling it to Vice.
