I hope the best the Campbell.I hope CNN does this in 2008.
!. Do any evening newscast at 6pm eastern with John Roberts.
2. At 6:30 pm do a mix of the top stories featuring the reporters that CNN has all from around the world.Mix it with music like they do the I-reports on the web only use the CNN reporters on the playlist.
3. Move Lou Dobbs to the 7pm eastern hour.
4. Campbell Brown's program needs to be freedom from Grace, BOR and Ko for the hour and more news less talk. tv news is suppose to be visual not audible that makes it nothing more than talk radio.
5. Make AC 360 live for 2 hours again. For hour 2 bring back the vintage 360 with the cool bump music and the Nth Degree. And use the cool stuff the have on the web like the I-report and other segments like the music report on CNN. com Get rid of the teases and make it all news even :15 stories accompanied by video and music before the commercials as well as for coming back to the studio following the break.And of course fresh updates for all of the stories.
**Disclaimer : I work in tv news and love CNN. It has always been my favorite channel.
#5 will NEVER happen. It wasn't making MONEY. Nth degrees haven't been around for almost 2 years, they certainly aren't going to bring it back now. They can't afford to buy music for the debate thing, so the "cool" bump music went bye bye.
Look closely (around the 0:20 mark), you'll see Campbell Brown making an appearance in this promo.
