Larry King announced today he was ending his show on CNN after 25 years of having his show there.
The future of CNN's primetime comes in to question , well talk more about that later.
His statement on his blog said this Before I start the show tonight, I want to share some personal news with you. 25 years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of Larry King Live.
Now, decades later, I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end Larry King Live, the nightly show, this fall and CNN has graciously accepted, giving me more time for my wife and I to get to the kids’ little league games.
I’ll still be a part of the CNN family, hosting several Larry King specials on major national and international subjects.
I’m incredibly proud that we recently made the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest running show with the same host in the same time slot. With this chapter closing I’m looking forward to the future and what my next chapter will bring, but for now it’s time to hang up my nightly suspenders.

Weather Channel and how it has gone down hill?
Opinion
The Weather Channel in the past year , since the buying by NBC in 2008, has not really seemed like it's self anymore. Though for the past few years they have been going into a trend that many others don't like.

Spitzer and Parker get CNN show.
Guess who is coming to CNN? Well Cnn has tapped to 2 people to replace Campbell Brown in their 8PMET slot, Campbell resigned last month and waiting to leave. You may know one of their names former some say disgraced governor of NewYork Eliot Spitzer Along with Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post. CNN is hoping to make a new show that's different from their others that will be a debate show with 2 hots of different Views to bring together a picture. So CNN may now have trouble ,though since some don't like Spitzer due to his past including the hooker scandal which he resigned for in 2008 as Governor of NewYork. That maybe a hard catch for viewers or it might work. CNN also is not ridding of a woman in Prime Time thanks to them also picking Parker. So it's still where primetimes of the cable news channels still have at least 1 woman in their line ups. Spitzer had been doing some work at MSNBC including fill-in jobs and contributor.Will you be watching the show? email us mychiller@inbox.com. The Start date is unknown but will tell you when it's coming.

CNN and Primetime troubles
Hopefuly to my understanding , CNN maybe trying to get rid of Larry King but in my own words they need to focus on filling Campbell Brown's Slot. Now Cnn is trying to not have big opinioned hosts in their line up but they need a strong news presentor then someone who is strong but fair. Someone that would bring that hour to a higher viewership. Here are some ideas I was thinking about. Rick Sanchez , he does CNN's Rick's List show weekdays 3-5pmet he is a strong News Anchor on the network and had done the 8PM until Campbell Brown had come Another choice is to import someone from another channel. This choice seems unliklely he works at MSNBC Donny Deucsh he's strong and very talented but he may not bring in the ratings but it would be a choice. Other ideas to pick up someone from the HLN line up and move them to CNN, HLN is owned by CNN, Like Mike Galanos he's strong voiced and very good on his show on HLN "Prime News" So what Can CNN do? I hope they consider a decsion take their time and not try to change the 9pm hour until they fix the 8pm.
