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.

Gee, if Headline News goes back to 24 hour news, maybe airports and other waiting areas will switch back from Home&Garden TV.
Too little, too late. The brand is tarnished.
