CNN has canceled "Connie Chung Tonight," which was launched last summer and has been criticized for its tabloid style.
The network offered host Connie Chung the opportunity to stay at the network in another capacity, but she declined, according to CNN spokesman Matt Furman.
This is the second show that new CNN President Jim Walton has canceled as he moves the network toward a more serious, hard-news tone. He also recently canceled "Talk Back Live."
"This is simply an effort to further distinguish ourselves in a crowded market," Furman said.
For now, Chung's 8 p.m. time slot will air Iraq war coverage anchored by Aaron Brown. The network has not named a permanent replacement for the time slot.

"Who might replace Chung? Since MSNBC's already snatched up Jesse "the MIND" Ventura, it might not be too late for CNN to rival with Macho Man Randy Savage . . " How about Hulk Hogan then?

I would suggest Aaron Browns show be extended another hour to full the gap...assuming he can stay awake..which appears to be difficult in his current assignment.
