Glimmer 282 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 New lineup goes: 7pm: Erin Burnett OutFront 8pm: Anderson Cooper 360 9pm: CNN Originals 10pm: CNN Tonight (live nightly newscast with rotating anchors) In addition, CNN has ordered new shows led by Mike Rowe, Lisa Ling and John Walsh that will be a part of this 9pm block. These moves are at once bold yet also simplistic all at the same time http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/04/10/cnn-announces-new-primetime-schedule/252961/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13475-cnn-announces-new-primetime-lineup-originals-block-at-9-straight-newscast-at-10/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5577 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I could live with this. I'm not thrilled with the permanent reality/doc hour, but the straight newscast is a nice trade-off. I will say, though, the reality programs they've been airing are very well-produced, professional, and not designed for the lowest common denominator viewer (unlike TLC, History, A&E, etc), which is also a plus.

Big Country News 435 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 CNN is a revolving door of shows, and it's not surprising that they are pulling primetime news. This is something that I think FOX would never do, seeing as how those pundits make the money. I'd personally like Shepard Smith to reboot the FOX Report at 10 and replace the god-awful Hannity.

News 9 Viewer 100 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 A straight newscast airing in primetime on CNN? As much we'd all like it to succeed, there's no way that's going to work. The days of Newsnight with Aaron Brown are long gone. Having rotating anchors won't do the program any favors either. I'm not a betting man, but if I were I'd bet that CNN Tonight will stay on the air for only 6 months tops, and call me a pessimist but I wouldn't be surprised if the program was axed a lot sooner than that.

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If memory serves me correct, didn't CNN have a primetime news program that had the "CNN Tonight" title years ago?

News 9 Viewer 100 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yes, back in 2001. And they brought it back in 2009 as an interim replacement for Lou Dobbs Tonight.

sarahg 0 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I don't like the new programming at all. I only watch tv late nights - now I'm getting CNN newsroom at midnight. If I want to watch that, I could just watch CNN International. I'd prefer watching repeats of primetime shows.

Rusty Muck 4374 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Considering what CNN is deteriorating to, airing documentaries at 9pm constitutes an upgrade.
