CNN

I guess if Zain had a proper set, her show would be more watchable. Same with Julia. 

Of course Christina is just filling in Hala's slot now, Bianca did it yesterday. I expect most London presenters will go through it eventually. Isa has settled in nicely in her morning hour so I don't expect her to move. Max would be the obvious choice, especially with his never debuting, ''new'' show.

I agree that Zain and Julia need to begin broadcasting from proper sets. CNN New York has 7 studios to choose from and keeping them in broom cupboards just isn’t acceptable. CNNi needs cohesion and jumping around the globe from flash set to flash set while production and news gathering still happens inside CNN Center doesn’t make sense. Even domestic could do with a return to CNN Center during the daytime. Surely it’s easier to have everyone producing the news under one roof. 

CNN New York Studios:
17N - Newsroom/Early Start
19X - Town Halls
19Y - New Day
19Z - Don Lemon/Erin Burnett
21L - AC360
21V - Reliable Sources Daily [mothballed]
21W - 5 Things [mothballed]

It seems as if Domestic is looking like a NY/DC-centric operation whereas CNNI is appearing to be a London-centric operation.  It would amaze me that the senior CNNI management's main offices aren't in London given that that is the where broadcasts get priority nowadays.

CNN are doing midterm primary election coverage from tomorrow night at 7pm ET. (12am Wednesday) Also on the schedule next week as well so we might see more of this once there is evening with many headline grabbing primaries.

Should point out there is a presentational impact of this with The Situation Room coming from Studio D instead of Studio A/B.

I simply cannot believe they are still using that awful annoying election theme which is well beyond it's sell by date. Two more years of listening to that! SCREAM!

I will disagree with you on that actually. Maybe it's just me but it's just so iconic to listen to when it comes to election time and I can never get over 'KEY RACE ALERT'. Feels a bit different with Wolf not doing it now and Jake Tapper being the main presenter. I have nothing wrong with Jake presenting but I already miss Wolf making the big announcements.

Jake replacing Wolf reminds me of Huw Edwards replacing David Dimbleby.  Jake is CNN's version of Huw when it comes to election night coverage.
