CNN boss Chris Licht has gutted sister network HLN, terminating all live programming as part of ongoing layoffs and budget cuts.
Licht slashed HLN’s “Morning Express with Robin Meade,” as well as “Weekend Express,” he announced in a memo to CNN’s remaining staff on Thursday.
Meade and HLN’s live news programming staffers will be among those fired.
Also getting their pink slips Thursday were prominent CNN correspondents Alison Kosik, Martin Savidge, Alex Field, Mary Ann Fox and Chris Cillizza, according to Variety.
CNN declined to comment on the overall number of job cuts when reached by The Post.
Licht is also expected to unveil details of a new daytime lineup for CNN in the coming days, as sources wondered about the futures of high-salaried anchors like Briana Keiler, John Berman, Chris Wallace, Kasie Hunt and Audie Cornish.

Man is it a good day. Sad to day they’ll probably have decent ‘sevpaks’ contracted in by their managers. Buh bye!

Didn’t realize Robin Meade was still working there. I always liked her. She had a long run.

The “HLN” stood for Head Line News. If there is no live news nor headlines, we should sue for false advertising. ;-)
Meanwhile, more forensic files please

Clobbered News Network — it has been all downhill since the “Baby Milk Factory.”

CNN is fading fast. Soon only Lemon Don will be left on air.

HLN, a CNN sister network formally known as Headline News, will terminate all live programming as part of CNN’s ongoing layoffs and budget cuts.
CNN’s cost-cutting efforts mark the end of HLN’s live programming, such as “Morning Express with Robin Meade,” Fox News Digital has confirmed. HLN is expected to air a simulcast of CNN’s Don Lemon-centered morning show in its place.
Meade did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

All of our thoughts now turn to Chris Wallace and we all have prayers in this regard. We are really really hoping for a favorable outcome. What I think is a favorable outcome st least.
