What Happened To 'Late Edition With Wolf Blitzer' ???

Tried to tune in for the round table discussion, and was looking at 'People In The News' on John Walsh instead.

Are they broadcasting the International Viewers stuff to us???

:wtf:

1. It's down to 2 hours now

I guess if Wolfie can't say it in 2...it's not worth the 3rd hour..

and CNN has a lot of "Can o Crap" that's cheaper to show...and show....and show....and show...:(

5. Interesting time to cut down on this kind of programming--

interviews with policy-makers. It's not as if there aren't LOTS of questions that need to be asked of LOTS of people. There's so much news out there it's amazing--we need more reporting from Afganistan, more discussion of the week's events in Congress, updates on Tony Blair, interviews with ex-CIA people on the Novak article. Oh, the news producers have a lot to answer for! (and not just CNN of course)

I don't mind their cutting down on Wolf's hours, but Sat and Sun are pretty much news wastelands--no wonder working people don't get enough news. They could have put "People in the News" on any weekday afternoon.

7. Hey SoCalDem !!! --- Did They Actually Make An Announcement ???

Cause their website says it's still a 3 hour show.

Link: http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/late.edition/

And TV Guide On-Line still has it as a 3 hour show in today's listings.

Just kinda curious, that's all. They're messin with my Sunday routine, and I hope that's all they're messin with, ya know?

2. I don't know

The round table descission is the best part of the show and I thought one of my sport's lovers had switched the channel so I calmly flipped to CNN and then went back to sports.

4. Yeah, I Like The Round Table Dicussion Too !!!

It was on last week, and I don't remember any announcement that they were cutting the show back to 2 hours.

At the 2 hour point is when they say goodbye to their international audience, and switch them off to another program before showing the rest of us the last hour, which contains the 'Final Round'.

I'm wondering if somebody in the control room fucked up???

6. Corporate News Network

too much discussion of the issues might make Bush look bad.
