Should CNN change it's name?

[JTD]

I seriously think that CNN should change it's name to the WBN, The Wolf Blitzer Network. I mean he's been on the air since 10 a.m. EDT and will be on the air for at least 6 hours today. He anchors from 3-6 p.m. EDT as well. I've never seen one anchor anchor so much time outside of long rolling coverage types of events.

Wolf works for 2-3 hours on Sunday as well for CNN's late edition. This guy must be a work-aholic.

I like Wolf, btw. I just can't believe how much air time he gets.

I like Wolf too..But you're right.. He's always on

CNN will change its name, if and only if, FOX NEWS changes it name to "CRA*"

I don't watch CNN that much I watch FOX.

[streetsoldier]

I only watch FoxNews, too...maybe CNN or MSNBC when I need a laugh.

Out of CNN, MSNBC and Fox news...I turn to Fox News when I wanna watch something...MSNBC is second and CNN is last.

I don't know why everybody hates CNN that much, Chad Myers (what's his name...I think that is?) is pretty good. MSNBC I don't really like, in fact the day of landfall they were still airing old shows about some psycho guy, and as late as evening (around 11:00 PM for Floridians) they were airing a really old show about Hurricane Andrew. FOX pretty much depends on Accuwx for some reason, graphics, forecasts (from JB), etc.

I mainly watch MSNBC. CNN has the best hurricane coverage... and if I want a lot of political coverage I tune into FOX.

Wolf was on the air from 10 a.m. EDT to 6 p.m. EDT today, that's 8 full continuous hours.'

A little ridiclous too... although Chris Matthews was on MSNBC more or less all day during the same hours.

But not by himself.

CNN is definitely my favorite news channel. Wolf is a very good anchor.

I only get CNN, CBC and CP24. CBC and CP24 are Canadian, CBC is Canada's CNN, and CP24 is the Greater Toronto Area's CNN. I byfar love CNN, it's always on. When a show I want to watch is on, I get two TVS, have CNN on mute and the show I am watching with sound. That way I don't miss anything!

From TVNewser:

CNN Primetime Changes Are Imminent; Aaron Brown May Not Return To NewsNight

CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein is preparing to separate the "fire and ice" duo of Aaron Brown and Anderson Cooper, TVNewser has learned.

The pairing, which premiered last month, has resulted in a few awkward moments. Brown frequently comes across as Cooper's awkward and sometimes annoyed grandfather.

So here's the most likely scenario: Brown will anchor a 7pm broadcast with a new title TBD, and Cooper will take over NewsNight at 10pm. Broadcasting & Cable says CNN is considering whether to continue extending NN to two hours.

This schedule shift, which has been rumored in the halls of the Time Warner Center, makes sense since the staffs were shifted a few weeks ago.

A "traditional" 7pm newscast by Brown could draw a unique audience that doesn't want to watch Shep Smith, Hardball or Showbiz Tonight. A "younger" 10pm show by Cooper could attract the 25-54 crowd that is watching TV after dark.

The impending changes raise questions about Brown's future at the network. This tipster may be dead wrong, or he may be right on the money: "After wrap on Friday, Aaron thanked the crew, told the crew that they would not again see him on NewsNight, took his sculpture from one of the walls, and left."

Brown is on vacation in Arizona this week. When he comes home, when will he be anchoring?

> "Keep your eyes and ears close to CNN this week," another tipster says. "Major doings will change the face of primetime and lead to a major shakeup (maybe setback), but lots of news will be coming."
