CNN should have just cut their Don Lemon losses in the beginning and kept Robin Meade

So you're saying they shouldn't have given Lemon aid and served Meade instead. 😉

 

Bad jokes aside, he will not be missed at all.

I agree that they should've kept Robin. Morning Express tended to do better in the ratings than any of CNN"s morning shows for at least a decade. Robin and her staff all had great chemistry together and Morning Express has always had a loyal following.

I can’t echo this enough. I know people weren’t always a fan of her style but Robin and MXP had two things CNN will never have in the morning, consistency and friendship, which brought in a core group of viewers everyday and when the show was properly promoted they had expanded viewership.
 

I expect CNN to find an out of network replacement for Don. Maybe someone from CBS since Chris Litch knows everyone there?

Shoot, I've been thinking every time CNN did a reboot of their morning program, just move Morning Express over to the mothership from HLN.

Don Lemon to NewsNation?

I posted this in the Discord, but I think that will happen within the next year or so, possibly sooner. It wouldn't shock me if discussions between Lemon and Nexstar happen in the near future, if they aren't already...

Didn't expect this two for one special today. This is just the tip, cable news needs further purging.

 

I'm not finding CNN announcing Lemon's departure, and I'm not finding fox announcing Carlson's ouster. 
 

 


CNN.com has the Lemon announcement posted just below the Carlson one. Not sure if they initially posted the video with John King announcing Don’s departure (John was clearly taken aback by the news), but the current clip has Pamela Brown making the announcement.

 

FoxNews.com posted the official video clip (with Harris Faulkner) announcing Carlson’s departure. Of course, you have to dig around the site to find it….
