CNN  Cable News 
    CNN has made an announcement  that Current ABC News "20/20" co-host , Chris Cuomo is to join.  He was the news anchor on "Good Morning America" until 2009 . This is the 2nd ABC News Anchor/Reporter to leave after Jake Tapper left to CNN last month, he will be hosting a new show in the afternoons.
  According to  a memo to staff from Jeff Zucker  on TV Newser it seems aht Cuomo will be doing something in the mornings.
I want to share some exciting news with you.
This morning we are announcing that Chris Cuomo is joining CNN.
Chris will be an anchor on a new morning show we are going to develop for CNN. He will also be an important part of our event news coverage across the network. 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.
