Chris has deep experience in both roles, most recently at ABC News, and he’s one of the smartest, most engaging journalists in television news. I’m pleased that he’s joining us and really looking forward to working with him at CNN. The press release with the news follows. Thanks.

"That's So Raven" premiered on Disney Channel on Jaunary 17th 2003.  It was when Disney Channel was testing the waters of original programs  , Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens were doing well , why not add a 3rd show when the other two were close to ending. 
  The program incase , you forgot, stars Raven-Symone` of Cosby show fame , she plays Raven a girl with physic powers  but just in case you think that would be a cool power until you see her get in trouble or things going wrong since she can only see a small part the future in a vision.  
 It ran on Disney Channel from 2003-2007, was rebroadcast on ABC Saturday Mornings from 2003 until ABC gave up on Children's shows in 2011. It also was the first Disney Channel made show to get a spinoff and go over 65 episodes. 

After the Jump : there's a video of the theme song. that will make you feel a bit happy or old or both.

Current post-mortem

Current 
      The New York Post's Linda Stasi writes about how Current TV staffers are feeling a week after the announcement Al Jazeera  and a staff that happened..

Ominously missing was the creator of Current, the self proclaimed inventor of the Internet and savior of clean energy, Al Gore, although his partner, Joel Hyatt, stood proudly with the Al Jazeera honchos.
“Of course Al didn’t show up,” said one high placed Current staffer. “He has no credibility.
“He’s supposed to be the face of clean energy and just sold [the channel] to very big oil, the emir of Qatar! Current never even took big oil advertising—and Al Gore, that bulls***ter sells to the emir?”
But you won’t be getting that Middle East merriment until April, which is when the network says it will be ready to take over.
“Sometime within three months—no more, no less—we were told,” said the Current staffer.
One person at the meeting, who has already announced that she’s leaving, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, tried to ask about severance packages for those who wouldn’t be staying.
“This isn’t the place to discuss this!” Hyatt barked at her.

Nightline changes time

ABC  TV NEWS Latenight 

 Written By Skyler
       Last year , ABC announced that they will be moving long time staple 11:35/10:35c program Nightline to 12:30/11:30c  and  Jimmy Kimmel to 11:35PM slot.
  Nightlline has been doing well  in it's current slot  beating the late night talkers giving a good lead-in to Jimmy Kimmel who also has been doing well.  (Source info from TVNEWSER)  There has always been a rumors about Nightline being canceled , but moving is a better option.  But  could the move to later cause a problem for the program?  The Fact that that lead-in from local news is gone , Nightline is now depending on People who may watch Nightline  but not Kimmel  still be loyal , and come to the program at the later time.   The move helps Jimmy  Kimmel because he gets that local news lead-in , and maybe some of the Nightline viewers , maybe those who saw Nightline as the time to change to Jeno or Letterman or something else may stay to see what Kimmel is.  Nightline being later my also cause people who drop off to bed after 12/11c may lose viewers who don't stay up that late. 12:30/11:30c is also the same time LateNight with Jimmy Fallon  and  The Late Late Show , 2 programs that have been established in that spot for years, would make it harder to compete against .
   So, the questions are  , 1.) Will Nightlines viewers  want to see Kimmel in the first place?  2) Will Nightline Viewers be willing to stay up even later to see their show?  3.) Will Kimmel be able to complete fully with the NBC and CBS programs at their start times?  4.) Will both programs suffer as  a result of the move in some way?
    Nightline and Jimmy Kimmel Live move January 8th at 11:35pm/10:35c/10:35m/11:35pt , on ABC. 
  Correction : we originally said that  the change starts January  7th  it starts on January 8th.
