Oh my! That this question should pop up on top this AM! I'm in shock. This morning I discovered that Robin Meade is gone. I tuned in to HLN to see that it had been taken over by regular CNN. Robin Meade was the only national reporter that I watched. Name me one other news reporter that starts with, "Good Morning, Sunshine"!
I looked around for info and the word was that CNN is losing money fast and Robin Meade was very expensive. Happy trails to you Robin.
Probably around the time Walter Cronkite retired and CNN debuted. I have watched so-called news programs since then, but what passes for news these days is mostly sensationalism.
