Paula Zahn is leaving CNN, turning her prime-time slot over to Campbell Brown. Zahn's final program will be Aug. 2. Others will fill in until November, when Brown -- newly hired from NBC News_ will start, CNN said Tuesday.
Zahn has been at the network for nearly six years since jumping from Fox News Channel -- her first day on the job Sept. 11, 2001. She said she expects to stay in television after taking some time off.
"For the first time in 30 years, I'm going to take a break here," said Zahn, 51.
Although her ratings are up this year, Zahn has had a tough time competing in a time slot dominated by Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Channel and Keith Olbermann at MSNBC. Rumors have spread for months that CNN was looking to make a change.

Hey! ESPN hired Olbermann back? GREAT--now I can see the video of that detested Yankee 2nd baseman lobbing a ball at Keith's mother again. Olbermann's the funniest Sportscaster ever!!!!!

How bad is it when you see the headline ...
... and you think "Foxy Brown?" So sad, but probably a far more interesting concept than watching the insipid yet lovely Campbell Brown.3. Posted by langtry | July 25, 2007 11:52 AM |
