New HLN Daytime Lineup

TVNewser is reporting that there are now some changes to the HLN lineup:

Mike Galanos moves from Prime News to HLN News Updates during the 12 PM-4PM ET hours. Richelle Carey, Susan Hendricks and Christi Paul will be with him in supporting ensemble role.

Natasha Curry will be the solo-anchor of Weekend news updates on HLN.

Carey, Curry and Hendricks will rotate as anchors of the 10AM ET hour (formerly anchored by Richard Lui).

Coming over from "In Session" will be Vinnie Politan as the new host of Prime News and Ryan Smith as a new contributor to Morning Express with Robin Meade.

These seem to be effective immediately.

HLN Observations: Meade, Lui and Roberts

Robin Meade will be performing and emceeing Jim Brickman's Summer Musicfest on Saturday in Cleveland, Ohio. Click here for more information and how to purchase tickets.

Robin will also be appearing in Nashville, Tennessee at this month's Puddle Palooza Concert on August 21st. In an E-Mail to us, Meade said: "This is a fundraiser benefit to bring attention to the public that the businesses near Opryland area are up and running, post flood. Check out the list of performers. I’m very honored to be among them!" Click here for tickets and information.

After our tweet about Richard Lui's move from HLN to MSNBC, it is was officially confirmed on Monday. Lui begins there August 30th.

Last week, HLN's most senior anchor Chuck Roberts signed off for the last time. Roberts was one of the longest-serving anchors among the CNN networks and anchored weekday Headline News (now HLN) broadcasts since the network's debut as CNN2 on New Year's Day, 1982. Below you'll find a video of Christi Paul's announcement of his departure and his last words.

New Headline News Graphics?

Unless this is just for the 12:00 CT hour of Headline News, it looks as if they have new graphics which are very smiliar to the Morning Express with Robin Meade graphics. I normally watch Headline News beginning with the 1:00 AM hour, so I will verify then whether or not their graphics are the same. The financial/sports ticker box is gone from these graphics.

Update: HLN has indeed changed their graphics. They have definitely removed the CNN from the name as you could tell that Christi caught herself before saying "CNN Headline News" and instead said "Headline News".
