“Campbell Brown to Leave NBC for CNN Prime-Time Slot”
Two people who have been briefed on those plans but were not authorized to discuss them for attribution, said that Ms. Brown would be replacing Paula Zahn, whose 8 p.m. program has long been battered in the ratings by Bill O’Reilly’s on Fox News. An announcement on Ms. Zahn’s fate, and Ms. Brown’s actual assignment, is expected before the end of this week.”
There are also reports that Paula Zahnn’s been canned.

“Unofficially, insiders confirm that Paula Zahn, who hosts a nightly talk show on CNN, will be leaving the network shortly.
But to the frustration of reporters on a conference call yesterday, CNN President Jon Klein said he could not confirm whether Brown will be taking over Zahn’s 8 p.m. time slot, or even whether Zahn is leaving, until some final details are worked out.”
My wife thinks a man giving the news is more credible, just as she thinks a woman is more suited to day time soap opera gossip.
