I hope that doesn’t mean Kasie Hunt will be on every morning on CNN.

1. Katy Tur is with MSNBC

[lisa58]

2. Do you mean Kasie Hunt?

Katy Tur is still with NBC I believe

[boston bean]

6. Yes

[helpisontheway]

3. I told my mom weeks ago that she should replace Cuomo

I really like her on the morning show. I did not care for Kasie Hunt in her spot this morning.

11. Her daytime show was fantastic. Actual full discussion of topics

Strangely Jon Oliver’s show on HBO stands out in its detail on a given subject. Brianna had a 20 minute interview with Col. Vindman’s wife (forgot her name) that went into military families specifically spouses of the people serving. She’d be great in prime time and I’m sure the hours would be much more conducive to having a life.

4. Do you suppose they're thinking of giving Briana a show at 9?

She's the only one on CNN who could compete with Rachel - IMO anyway.

[boston bean]

7. I think so.

[malaise]

10. She can't compete with Rachel Maddow

but maybe CNN is hoping Rachel will give up the night program as part of her promotion.
Rachel would be wasted on a day time program.

12. Rachel is giving up her time slot.

She has signed a contract to do specials. Her new contract is for $14 million a year. Rachel didn’t want to do her show anymore.

15. Amazing to think not all that long ago she was a lowly radio host in Massachusetts.

I guy I know went on her show to talk about his poetry. Bet she didn't make $14 an hour then.

16. Agenda without hysteria...

In the days before her radio and TV career, she was a dogged and untiring advocate of penal reform. Awarded the John Gardner Fellowship and the Rhodes Scholarship. Degrees from Stanford and Oxford. Stanford college newspaper outed her as lesbian in her freshman year, before she had told her parents. Her Ph.D. thesis is titled HIV/AIDS and Health Care Reform in British and American Prisons. For extra credit she co-hosted the show Unfiltered along with Chuck D. of Public Enemy and Lizz Winstead, co-creator of the Daily Show.

8. She did a special last night at 9:00 - "Democracy in Peril"

Not a regularly scheduled show.

9. CNN

testing eyeballs. They sense an opportunity when Rachel leaves.

[Doc Sportello]

13. I hope she is given the slot permanently

She is the best news host on television. Solid journalist, fact-based, compassionate and professional in every way. Also takes down liars and repub hypocrites with her Roll the Tape segments like no one else.

14. I saw her first show last night, pleasantly surprised to see her. And it looks like she shed...

....the early morning negative bias that she adopted when she moved from the afternoon to the morning slot.

I hope she returns to her previous feisty self. I used to stop everything to watch her.
