By day, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins wears out shoe leather at the White House, trying to get the latest details on any number of eyebrow-raising policies coming out of the Trump administration. By night, she holds forth from a shiny Washington studio, far from the fray.

CNN hopes to inject a little of the reporter’s daytime routine into her nighttime one.

Collins is expected to leave her studio perch and host her 9 p.m. program, “The Source,” from the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet’s Washington, D.C., newsroom, a move that could take place as soon as Tuesday evening. The hope is that the change in setting will give viewers a more kinetic presentation that reminds them of Collins’ unique place at the network — it is rare for someone assigned to a busy news beat, in this case that of chief White House correspondent, to also have responsibility...

CNN finished April with solid performance across its cable, digital, and streaming platforms, according to data from Nielsen Media Research, Comscore and other sources.

For the fourth consecutive month, CNN ranked in the top five most-watched cable networks in total day among viewers aged 2 and up (P2+), placing fourth, and ranked eighth among viewers aged 25 to 54 (P25-54). In weekday prime-time, CNN grew its P25-54 audience by 8 percent year-over-year, rising from 113,000 to 122,000 viewers. (Fox News continued to dominate across all cable networks during the month.)

Among total viewers, CNN secured a top 10 spot in prime-time (seventh overall) for the fourth straight month. Key programs like “Erin Burnett OutFront,” “NewsNight with Abby Phillip,” and “Laura Coates Live” saw audience growth in the P25-54 demographic. NewsNight with Abby Phillip stood out as CNN’s highest-rated show...

Scottish broadcaster and journalist Kirsty Wark will receive this year’s BAFTA Fellowship, the British Academy’s top accolade.

The BAFTA Fellowship is given in recognition of an outstanding contribution to the industry. Wark will join other journalists to receive the honor including Jon Snow and Kate Adie.

She presented the BBC’s landmark news show Newsnight for 30 years, holding politicians and public figures to account. Making her reputation as a journalist and producer on BBC Scotland, Wark was one of the first television journalists to arrive on the scene when Pan Am Flight 103 was blown up in the skies above Lockerbie in 1988. She famously locked horns with British Pm Margaret Thatcher in 1990, in one of several headline-making interviews that propelled her into the spotlight.

She has also presented BBC arts programs The Late Show and The Review Show. Notable interviews in the cultural space include with Madonna, Harold Pinter,...

Prince Andrew and his family joined King Charles for Easter church outing on April 20, despite the former no longer being a working royal. Here’s the reason why he can still join the Royal Family on these rare outings.

Reason Prince Andrew Joined King Charles For Easter Outing Explained

Prince William and Princess Kate were Mia during this year’s Easter church outing, even though they’d returned from their little family trip abroad. Reports state that they opted to enjoy a quiet Easter away from the spotlight.

This would mark the second time in a row that they’ve missed the church gathering. In 2024, they missed the Sunday service due to Kate’s chemotherapy treatments.

Some say the Waleses’ decision to skip the outing and celebrate privately hints at a growing fracture between them and King Charles, while others see it as the couple’s desire for privacy.

However,...

CNNs NewsNight got tense on Wednesday night (April 9) after a debate between Scott Jennings and ex-MSNBC host Tiffany Cross devolved into personal insults. The show, hosted by Abby Phillip, saw resident conservative panelist Jennings discussing the drama surrounding President Donald Trump‘s trade tariffs, most of which he paused for 90 days on Wednesday amid a plummeting stock market. After a fellow panelist brought up how Trump’s tariffs had offended allies, just as he did when threatening to buy Greenland, Cross referred to this as a “colonizer’s attitude.” “It’s a colonizer’s attitude to say, I like it, I’m just gonna steal it,'” Cross said. Jennings pushed back on this, responding, “Steal what?” “Land, land,” Cross replied. “You cannot just go and say, ‘I like it, it’s mine now.’ It doesn’t work that way. That is what they’re trying to do. And in this new world order…...

More about Prince Andrew and his connection to an alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo, was detailed in documents released in court earlier today.

Senior Aide To Prince Andrew Claimed The King Had Two Meetings With Tengbo

King Charles was dragged into the row after documents claimed he had been personally briefed about an investment fund involving a spy.

Andrew’s senior aide, Dominic Hampshire, who was prohibited from Britain on national security grounds, claimed the King had two meetings with Tengbo and Andrew between December 2023 and May last year.

Hampshire, Andrew, and the King mulled over what the disgraced prince could do after he was rejected from other business opportunities due to his involvement with known sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Yang was involved in a renewable energy project called the Eurasia Fund, which never came to fruition. There is no evidence that Charles knew of any security concerns pertaining to the alleged agent.

MSNBC’s new Saturday and Sunday primetime panel, “The Weekend,” won’t kick off until later this month, but the show’s four hosts just got their first chance to chew over their plans.

At first glance, Ayman Mohyeldin, Elise Jordan, Catherine Rampell and Antonia Hylton don’t seem to have too much in common. Each has a distinctive background that is unlike the others. Hylton gained traction working for upstart news outlets including Mic and Vice.com before joining NBCUniversal. Rampell has made a name for herself not only for economic analysis at The Washington Post but also as a frequent talk-show contributor to everything from CNN’s “News Night” to HBO’s “Real Time.” Mohyeldin first began to emerge at NBC News delivering reports last decade from the Middle East. And Jordan has worked for Senator Rand Paul and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

From “Baby Reindeer” to “Adolescence,” Netflix has staked a claim when it comes to sourcing prestige British TV with global appeal and “Wolf Hall” director Peter Kosminsky believes this to be a huge problem. Speaking during a recent interview with BBC Two’s Newsnight, the 45-year industry veteran detailed what he described as an “existential crisis” facing Britain’s public broadcasting.

Kosminsky explained that American streaming companies have made costs so high that BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 “can’t afford to make dramas like ‘Wolf Hall’ anymore.” Instead, all the money that should be distributed on British programming is going to shows that have more global appeal, “Adolescence” being one example.

“I think the BBC or ITV would wish to make ‘Adolescence,’ but let’s be absolutely clear,” Kosminsky said, “there is no way they could make it at the moment.”

CNN NewsNight panelist Ana Navarro fired back at Kevin O’Leary on Wednesday night (March 12) after the Shark Tank star said nobody cares about the political views of Rosie O’Donnell. The confrontation came after O’Donnell shared a TikTok video on Wednesday, where she revealed she and her 12-year-old daughter had moved from the United States to Ireland for a “better life.” O’Donnell, now living in Dublin with her youngest daughter Dakota (also known as Clay), said, “It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know,” adding that she and Clay “just felt like we needed to take care of ourselves and make some hard decisions and follow through” and won’t consider returning to the U.S. until “all citizens have equal rights.” Responding to O’Donnell’s post on Wednesday’s NewsNight, O...

Catherine Rampell, a Washington Post opinion columnist who has been a regular presence on CNN and other news programs, will join MSNBC a a co-host of its evening “Weekend” roundtable program, the latest new hire under network president Rebecca Kutler.

She will serve as a co-host of a show on which MSNBC is placing more emphasis. The current trio hosting the program — Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez — are moving to the network’s 7 p.m. hour. A new trio of Jonathan Capehart, Jackie Alemany and Eugene Daniels are taking over a morning version of the show. Rampell will co-host with Ayman Moyehldin and a third colleague to be named later.

She is expected to join MSNBC in the Spring.

Rampell, who is known for reporting on politics and economics, often dives into the inner workings of government, and has toured the Internal Revenue Service and interviewed Federal Reserve...

MSNBC is, like other cable-news mainstays, giving roundtable shows a harder spin.

Jackie Alemany, who has logged stints covering politics at both CBS News and The Washington Post, will move to MSNBC, where she will serve as co-host of one of its “The Weekend” panel programs and as a Washington correspondent. Alemany will anchor a morning version of “The Weekend” alongside Jonathan Capehart, who has worked Saturdays and Sundays for MSNBC for the past few years, and Eugene Daniels, the Politico correspondent whose move to MSNBC was confirmed Monday.

The new host unveiled her new role Tuesday on “Morning Joe.”

“Jackie has built a reputation of accountability journalism covering the nation’s capital from both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue,” said Rebecca Kutler, MSNBC’s president, in a statement. “Her addition as a co-host of ‘The Weekend’ in the mornings, alongside Eugene Daniels and Jonathan Capehart, solidifies this trio as a...

BritBox’s newest limited drama Douglas Is Cancelled has received a brand-new trailer, introducing Doctor Who’s Karen Gillan and Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville as co-anchors of a TV news show. This marks Gillan’s first major scripted TV project in a long while, after starring in 2014’s short-lived sitcom Selfie.

The video features Bonneville’s titular character as he suddenly goes viral after being accused of making a sexist joke at a recent wedding he attended. The trailer highlights how Douglas and the news team deal with the consequences of getting cancelled online. This timely and provocative comedy-drama is also expected to explore gender politics and trial by social media. Prior to its BritBox debut, the series had already garnered a Tomatometer rating of 71% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 17 reviews.

Look out, Scott Jennings!

CNN said it hired Rahm Emanuel, the former Obama advisor and Chicago mayor, as a senior commentator on political and global affairs. Emanuel most recently served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan.

His hire comes as CNN has tried to lure conservative and center-right viewers by enlisting the aforementioned Jennings, a former Bush advisor whose presence on the network has increased in recent weeks. Jennings appears frequently in Washington political panels and on the primetime show “NewsNight,” and even recently made a foray into CNN’s more traditional news programming. His support for the policies of the Trump administration has brought him directly into on-air conflict with several CNN anchors, who often accuse him of grandstanding.

Emanuel could serve to balance the scales. A former chief of staff in the Obama White House, Emanuel is known for having a blunt demeanor. “You have to be idealistic...

New emails reveal Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein’s friendship lasted longer than he admitted. It’s highly probable that Andrew may have lied in his infamous Newsnight interview.

Prince Andrew And Epstein’s Friendship Continued Two Months After He Said It Ended

Prince Andrew claimed he had stopped spending time with and corresponding with the known sex offender, but their relationship continued two months after the Duke of York said it did.

The disgraced Prince insisted that the last time he saw Epstein was in December 2010, shortly after he was released from prison for child prostitution offenses.

The resurfaced emails show the two of them chatted over email at least until late February 2011.

Andrew and Epstein communicated on the day a scandalous photo came out of Andrew and 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre, who later claimed she had been sex trafficked by Epstein. She later claimed she was forced to have sex with Andrew.

Prince Andrew exchanged friendly chat with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after the date he said he had broken off contact with his former friend, according to court documents freshly revealed.

In 2019, Andrew gave a notorious interview to the BBC’s Newsnight, in which he said he had not seen or spoken to Epstein after a meeting at the disgraced financier’s New York mansion in December 2010.

The interview was considered to have shown the prince in such a bad light that his mother, then Queen Elizabeth, ordered he step back from public life.

Now, the BBC reports that court documents in a case, involving the Fca and banker Jes Staley over the latter’s own connection with Epstein, include an email dated February 2011 in which Andrew wrote to his former friend “Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!”’

Other emails released reveal the close...

Bryan Cranston's Your Honor co-star Andrene Ward-Hammond has addressed the possibility of the show returning following its Netflix success. Ward-Hammond played gang leader Big Mo on the legal drama.

Your Honor originally aired for two seasons on Showtime, with former Breaking Bad star Cranston playing a New Orleans judge pushed beyond his ethical breaking point by his son’s involvement in a hit-and-run crash. While the second season of Your Honor was its last, the show found a new legion of fans when it was added to Netflix last year. According to Nielsen streaming numbers, Your Honor’s combined streaming viewership on Netflix and Paramount+ for the week of June 3, 2024 was an impressive 1.5 billion minutes.

CNN is moving Wolf Blitzer’s show “The Situation Room” to late mornings and expanding “The Lead with Jake Tapper” to two hours, part of a broader refresh of the network’s weekday programming line-up, executives announced on Thursday.

The new schedule affects the domestic CNN channel as well as some programs that are simulcast on CNN International, which is expected to have its own weekday programming refresh in the coming weeks. Additionally, CNN executives say new shows will be announced in the near future.

The new schedule for CNN’s U.S. channel follows below (all times Eastern):

5 a.m.: “5 Things” with Rahel Solomon 6 a.m.: “CNN This Morning” 7 a.m. : “CNN News Central” 10 a.m.: “The Situation Room” with Wolf Blitzer 12 p.m.: “Inside Politics” with Dana Bash 1 p.m.: “CNN News Central” 4 p.m.

CNN unveiled details of changes to its daytime and afternoon lineup Thursday, with Wolf Blitzer moving to mornings to anchor The Situation Room with Pamela Brown, Jake Tapper getting a new time slot, and Kasie Hunt shifting to afternoons.

There is no word on what will happen to Jim Acosta, as Blitzer and Brown’s The Situation Room will take his place in the 10 a.m. Et slot.

Tapper’s show will move to 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Et, with a new show hosted by Hunt, called The Arena, getting the 4 p.m. Et slot.

Audie Cornish will take over CNN This Morning at 6 a.m. Et, and Rahel Solomon will host 5 Things at 5 a.m. Et.

CNN Worldwide CEO Mark Thompson unveiled further plans earlier today to shift the network’s focus to digital, with layoffs of about 200 employees from its workforce but with plans to hire 100 in digital roles.

CNN is getting a revamped lineup, with a number of familiar faces moving to new roles or time periods. Eric Sherling, CNN’s executive vp of programming, announced the changes in a memo to CNN staff Thursday.

The new lineup was unveiled just hours after CNN CEO Mark Thompson outlined job cuts and a digital-first strategy for the venerable cable news channel.

Among the changes: The Lead anchor Jake Tapper will move to 5-7 p.m., filling a critical early primetime period for news; Kasie Hunt will host The Arena at 4 p.m.; Audie Cornish will join CNN This Morning at 6 a.m.; Rahel Solomon will host 5 Things at 5 a.m.; and Wolf Blitzer and Pamala Brown will move to the 10 a.m. timeslot with a new version of The Situation Room.

There is no word on what will happen to Jim Acosta, the current 10 a.m. anchor who, according to multiple reports,...

Neil Cavuto held forth at 4 p.m. on Fox News Channel from a New York studio for more than a quarter century, a veteran newscaster who was never afraid to call balls and strikes. His successor, Will Cain, will lead the hour from a decidedly different venue for cable-news — Dallas, Texas — and probably take a few swings.

“The Will Cain Show” debuts Tuesday at 4 p.m. eastern with what is likely to be a decidedly different look. Fox News has said the program will carry “a signature podcast style,” and Cain acknowledges people looking for the usual cable-news trappings may see something different. “It’s not a sermon, it’s a conversation,” he says of the format, adding: “There’s not the pretense of perfection. Nothing that I have to say is the word of God. I’m on the ride with everyone else in pursuit of the truth.”

Depending on who you ask, CNN anchor Jim Acosta is getting a chance to speak to a much broader audience with an assignment at a new and non-traditional time slot, or he’s being removed entirely from the usual daily discussion around the news.

Executives at CNN have asked Acosta to take a new role, anchoring a show that would air from midnight to 2 a.m. on the eastern coast of the U.S., according to two people familiar with the matter. Even so, the show has been pitched a chance to deliver live breaking news to audiences on the West coast and overseas at times when viewers in those regions are still active and craving information.

The offer was issued this week, according to these people, and Acosta, who gained a broader profile at CNN with his coverage of the White House during the first administration of President Donald Trump,...

Aaron Brown has passed away at 76.

The former CNN anchor led the network’s NewsNight program from 2001 to 2005 and he was an influential part of CNN’s coverage of the September 11 attacks.

Brown‘s first appearance on CNN actually happened on September 11, 2001 as the network needed extra presence on that day, even though he wasn’t scheduled to start work yet. He was live on air for 17 hours that day.

After his time on CNN, Brown was the host of PBS’ Wide Angle.

Brown‘s death was confirmed by his family to CNN, but no cause of death was given. He passed away on Sunday (December 29) at the age of 76.

We’re sending our thoughts and condolences to Aaron Brown’s loved ones during this difficult time. We’ve sadly lost many people in 2024.

Aaron Brown, a news anchor known for his coverage during CNN’s broadcast of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, died on Sunday in Washington, D.C., his family confirmed to CNN. He was 76.

Brown began his career as a radio talk show host in Minneapolis before moving to local television in Seattle and eventually becoming the anchor of ABC’s overnight news programs “World News Now” and “World News Tonight Saturday.” He joined CNN in 2001, eventually anchoring “NewsNight,” which combined breaking news with in-depth analysis.

Brown was still in training when the Sept. 11 terror attacks occurred and though he hadn’t been scheduled to go on air that morning, but he rushed to CNN’s Manhattan office, making his first appearance as an anchor and guiding millions of viewers through the dramatic events of Sept. 11.

“I felt, in that moment, profoundly stupid,” Brown told CNN’s Brian Stelter years later in...

Aaron Brown, the former CNN and ABC anchor renowned for his coverage of 9/11 and founding host of ABC’s “World News Now,” died Sunday at the age of 76, his family told CNN. No cause of death was given.

Brown’s career at ABC also included serving as the weekend anchor of “World News Tonight” before he joined CNN in 2001. His first day on-air was 9/11, and Brown won the Edward R. Murrow award for his coverage of the terrorist attacks from around Manhattan, including the World Trade Center site. He reported live for 17 hours.

From 2001 to 2005, Brown anchored CNN’s “NewsNight.” He left the network in 2005, and in 2008 — after his contract was up — he returned to TV as the host of PBS’ “Wide Angle.”

Brown spoke candidly about reporting live on the 9/11 attacks for a CNN special on what it was like to anchor during the attacks in 2020, which you can watch below.

Brown’s wife, Charlotte Rayner, added a tribute via a statement: “Aaron got to do the work that he loved — and he felt lucky to do that work as part of a community of people who were dedicated to good journalism and who became good friends. Over the course of his career, Aaron worked morning shifts, night shifts, and of course the ‘Overnight’ (a program he absolutely loved working on), but he always found a way to make both ordinary and special times with our daughter Gabby and me.

Aaron Brown, an anchor who earned widespread praise for incisive reporting and calm demeanor during CNN’s coverage of 9/11, has died. He was 76.

Brown died on Sunday, the network said, quoting a statement from his family. No cause of death was given.

Brown won the Edward R. Murrow Award for his coverage of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, as he anchored from the top floor of the network’s Manhattan offices. That was his first appearance on the network, as he had previously been with ABC News, serving as anchor of World News Now and World News Tonight Sunday. He was not even supposed to start for several more weeks, but was enlisted for the national crisis.

In the backdrop of Brown’s coverage were the huge plumes of smoke from the Twin Towers, engulfing lower Manhattan.

The BBC has U-turned from its original position on MasterChef by pulling Christmas episodes following the Gregg Wallace allegations.

The corporation had initially said that all filmed eps would still air, despite the fact that Wallace has stepped away from the show as producer Banijay UK investigates allegations of inappropriate behavior. Today, it has told BBC News that the Christmas eps will not air.

This comes after more than a dozen women accused Wallace of inappropriate behaviour and sexually inappropriate comments, including ex-Newsnight host Kirsty Wark.

Following that BBC News investigation last week, the BBC’s initial position was that it would continue to roll cameras, satisfying concerns from the likes of broadcasting union Bectu that pausing the show would lead to a loss of work for freelancers in a difficult market.

A BBC press release issued on Friday – after the Wallace allegations were made public – said a Celebrity MasterChef...

Updated 06.11 a.m. Pt: Gregg Wallace has now apologized for suggesting allegations made against him of inappropriate behavior came from “a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.”

After a UK government spokesperson called the MasterChef presenter’s remarks “inappropriate and misogynistic,” Wallace took to Instagram once again to fall on his sword and say he will take some time out.

“I want to apologize for any offense that I caused with my post yesterday, and any upset I may have caused to a lot of people,” he said. “I wasn’t in a good head space when I posted it. I’ve been under a huge amount of stress, a lot of emotion, I felt very alone, under siege, yesterday, when I posted it.”

Wallace added that “it’s obvious to me I need to take some time out” while an investigation into his behavior on set is...

Gregg Wallace has issued his first statement since more than a dozen women accused him of making inappropriate sexual comments and inappropriate behavior.

The MasterChef host took to Instagram to record a video in which he hit out at his accusers, saying the accusations come from a “handful of middle-class women of a certain age.”

“I’ve been doing MasterChef for 20 years – amateur, professional and Celebrity MasterChef – and I think in that time I have worked with over 4,000 contestants of all different ages, all different backgrounds, all walks of life,” Wallace said. “And apparently now, I’m reading in the paper, there’s been 13 complaints in that time. Now, in the newspaper I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age just from Celebrity MasterChef. This isn’t right.”

The accusations were published in a BBC News investigation from 13 women including ex-Newsnight host Kirsty Wark,...

Television host Gregg Wallace is to step down as the presenter of the U.K. version of “MasterChef,” which airs on public broadcaster BBC, while allegations of historical misconduct are investigated.

Wallace, who has been a co-host and judge on the cooking show since 2005, is “committed to fully co-operating throughout the process,” the show’s production company Banijay UK said.

Wallace has appeared on a number of BBC shows in the past, including “Saturday Kitchen,” “Eat Well for Less,” “Supermarket Secrets,” “Celebrity MasterChef” and “MasterChef: The Professionals,” as well as being a “Strictly Come Dancing” contestant in 2014.

Last year, Wallace received a national honor – becoming a Member of the Order of the British Empire – for services to food and charity.

A BBC spokesman said: “We take any issues that are raised with us seriously and we have robust processes in place to deal with them.”

King Charles has taken significant steps to cut financial ties with his brother, Prince Andrew, according to an excerpt from Robert Hardman’s updated biography Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story.

The book reveals that Charles ordered the Keeper of the Privy Purse to stop Andrew’s $1.3 million (£1 million) annual personal allowance and cease funding his security. “The Duke had certainly been faring better than expected since his brother succeeded to the throne,” Hardman wrote.

The decision also ends the King’s support for Andrew’s private security at the Royal Lodge, which reportedly cost “a substantial seven-figure sum annually.” Hardman noted, “In August, it was widely reported (and not disputed) that the King was no longer prepared to renew that contract beyond the autumn of 2024.”

Joy Reid got the call while she was waiting in a restaurant at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to get on a plane to Paris. Nicolle Wallace received a summons, she remembers, when “I was in the middle of nowhere with my son and had no makeup.” To respond to similar requests, says Rachel Maddow, “I have made illegal U-turns on the state highway.”

When “The Avengers” are needed, no one can ignore the alert.

Reid, Wallace and Maddow look nothing like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor or any of the other super-powered characters who populate the well-watched Marvel films from Disney. And yet, on MSNBC, where each anchors her own program, they are part of an assemblage that is being convened with greater frequency.

“When there’s a moment,” says Rashida Jones, MSNBC’s president, the network likes to “bring the team together and elevate the seriousness of the news.

Channel 4 is gearing up for its first live U.S. election program in 32 years.

CNN’s Newsnight descended into chaos and acrimony Monday night after Donald Trump surrogate Ryan Girdusky directed an Islamophobic attack on fellow panel guest Mehdi Hasan.

During a discussion about Trump’s now infamous Madison Square Garden rally, which saw a number of speakers make blatantly racist remarks about Black people, Palestinians, Latinos, Jews and, particularly, about Puerto Rico, the panel got heated, and Hasan said as a supporter of Palestinians he was used to people groundlessly accusing him of being an antisemite.

Girdusky then replied, “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off.” The quip, which heavily implied that Hasan was a terrorist, alluded to the recent spate of pager bombings carried out by Israel that targeted Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

Hasan and the other guests immediately realized Girdusky’s insinuation and called him out on it, with Hasan asking Girdusky whether he wanted Hasan to die. “Did you just say I should die?...

Updated with CNN statement and commentator’s response: CNN says commentator Ryan Girdusky will no longer be welcome on the network after his offensive remark to fellow guest Mehdi Hasan on Monday night.

“There is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air,” the network said in a statement shared by host Abby Phillip tonight.

Earlier tonight on NewsNight with Abby Phillip, Girdusky was ushered off the show during a commercial break after making a crass comment suggesting Hasan was a member of terrorist organization. In a video accompanying CNN’s statement, Philip apologized again for the incident just as she did earlier on her show.

Phillip also says in her video message that, although Hasan did not reappear after the commercial break, CNN did not ask him to leave as it had with Girdusky, and that the choice was Hasan’s. “In fact we really...

“Gutfeld!” recently delivered its highest-rated quarter to date, with its third quarter of 2024 with an average 2.8 million viewers and 413,000 in 25-54 demo during the 10 p.m. Et hour, according to Nielsen, outpacing its cable news competition as well as other broadcast and late night shows, including NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”

Scripps is backing out of a ambitious effort to offer national news across its many TV stations, and its reasons for doing so may give rivals the shudders.

The Cincinnati owner of TV stations and national networks like Ion told staffers Friday that it plans to shutter the national news programming produced by its Scripps News unit, resulting in what are expected to be 200 job cuts. Scripps in early 2023 combined its live-streaming Newsy outlet with its local-news operations and its Washington bureau to create Scripps News, which distributed national news programming across the company’s local stations and via streaming outlets.

The layoffs are to be completed by November 15.

The company found less-than-robust support for the venture from Madison Avenue, according to Adam Symons, Scripps’ CEO. “Amidst an already difficult linear television advertising marketplace, many brands and agencies have decided that advertising around national news is just too risky for...

Hot on the heels of an impressive showing at the Emmys, FX is hoping its newest anthology series, the uniquely American drama “American Sports Story,” will capture viewers’ attention in much the same way. The first installment is based on the podcast “Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc.” from The Boston Globe’s award-winning Spotlight team and Wondery. It traces Hernandez’s (Josh Rivera) rise and fall, from his days as a high school standout in Bristol, Conn., to his death in prison in 2017, two years after being convicted of murder.

Across 10 riveting episodes — the first two of which are streaming on Hulu — the series explores Hernandez’s troubled life and career, and the issues that influenced and came to define it, including the commodification of brown and Black athletes and the reckless disregard for player safety. It’s an indictment of one of America’s biggest cultural institutions, and...

The 2019 royal interrogation of Prince Andrew has become one of the most talked-about interviews ever. The heated Newsnight interview saw BBC journalist Emily Maitlis question the Duke of York about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his possible involvement in it. The exchange in Buckingham Palace was Andrew's chance to prove his innocence... and it backfired, enormously.

The interview, which the 3-episode miniseries chronicles, was chased down by Maitlis and willingly sought after by Prince Andrew to clear his name and public image. The 50-minute exchange famously backfired for Andrew, after some rather peculiar alibis, and questionable statements -- the fact that he doesn't sweat and that he could perfectly recall exactly what he was doing on one random day from decades ago.

A Very Royal Scandal - Season 3 - Episode 303

Funnily enough, the 2019 interview was dramatized earlier this year. Scoop premiered on Netflix in April, telling the same story,...

Amazon enthusiastically announced the Sept. 19 release date for A Very Royal Scandal with the declaration, “The critically acclaimed A Very … Scandal anthology is back!”

My primary questions include: Was “Scandal” included so that nobody would think A Very Royal Scandal was, in some way, a part of a franchise that perhaps started with 1996’s A Very Brady Sequel? Does your average television viewer even accept the existence of the A Very Dot Dot Dot Scandal franchise? And, perhaps most sincerely, even if we acknowledge that the A Very Dot Dot Dot Scandal franchise exists, what does it mean? What are the unifying characteristics between 2018’s A Very English Scandal, 2021’s A Very British Scandal and now A Very Royal Scandal, a trio of limited series without an overlapping character, star, writer or director?

The first two installments focused on pre-Internet kerfuffles stirred up by the British press, while A Very Royal Scandal...

Directed by Julina Jerrold, A Very Royal Scandal takes us through the nightmare that Prince Andrew lived through after he agreed to give an interview to the BBC and be a guest on their show named Newsnight. The series is based on Emily Maitlis’ book named Airhead: The Imperfect Art of Making News and it makes us privy to what led to Prince Andrew and his team taking that decision and also to the furore created in the entire nation after the interview got aired in 2019. In retrospect, if we see, I think it was a horrendous decision to give that interview. It was as if Prince Andrew knew that the sea was full of sharks, but still he went for a swim, hoping that the fish wouldn’t devour him. I don’t know how Amanda Thirsk, his private secretary, couldn’t see the hazards of letting her boss...

When Prince Andrew invited BBC current affairs show “Newsnight” to interview him at Buckingham Palace in 2019, neither he – nor his interviewer Emily Maitlis – had any inkling that it would not only result in the British royal’s public disgrace, including being stripped of his titles and patronages, but would spawn two dramatizations within five years. (And it’s likely they won’t be the last).

The interview was, to put it plainly, seismic. Not just personally catastrophic for Andrew, who found himself effectively barred from public life after it aired, as well as paying out a multi-million-dollar settlement to his accuser Virginia Giuffre, but reverberated through the royal family all the way up to the monarch.

The outsize impact of that interview is something that Michael Sheen, who plays the prince in Prime Video’s “A Very Royal Scandal,” out on Thursday, has had ample time to contemplate. To get into the role,...

A Very Royal Scandal tells the story of one of the more headline-making royal interviews in recent memory. The limited series focuses on Prince Andrew’s disastrous 2019 chat with BBC journalist Emily Maitlis, where he addressed disturbing allegations around his relationship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Premiering on Prime Video just months after a similar Netflix film called Scoop, the show knew viewers would come expecting juicy dramatizations of that infamous pow-wow. But it aimed higher, using its three-hour runtime to offer deeper context on the key players and weigh bigger questions stirred up by this scandal.

The series covers all the intrigue leading up to that fateful Newsnight sit-down between Maitlis and Prince Andrew, from the prince dismissing warnings to avoid the interview to Maitlis’s determination to secure it.

It recreates tense moments from their conversation and depicts fallout as the prince’s world unravels while Maitlis faces celebrity’s consequences.

In A Very Royal Scandal, we saw that Princess Beatrice, the older daughter of Prince Andrew, unexpectedly attended the pre-meet where Prince Andrew met the BBC Newsnight team to get an idea of the kind of questions they were going to ask. Neither Emily Maitlis nor Sam McAlister had ever imagined that they would have to discuss the case of sexual assault against the Prince in front of his own daughter. But nonetheless, she was in the room, and that’s when the BBC team realized that apart from Amanda Thirsk, Andrew’s secretary, even Beatrice played a key role in deciding whether her father should do the interview or not. In real life too, Beatrice did attend the meeting, and she was in fact hugely disappointed and distressed after the interview aired on November 16th, 2019. But before discussing the kind of impact the backlash had on Princess Beatrice, let...

A Very Royal Scandal is a realistic depiction of everything that went down before and after Emily Maitlis’ interview for Newsnight with Prince Andrew. The 3-parter tells the story as is and brings to light how naive the prince must’ve been to believe he could fix this problem himself. The interview, which looks like a grilling in post, didn’t come by easily, and seeing how it turned out, we can understand why. A Very Royal Scandal attempts to present hard facts surrounding the whole thing while maintaining a non-judgmental lens on both leading characters, Emily and Andrew. Of course, this doesn’t mean you don’t get to form your opinions on them, but that’s the fun of television, no? The almost documentary-like show begins with Emily rushing to the palace and sweating profusely. We know by now that this isn’t really a problem for the prince.

It could be said that A Very Royal Scandal was a documentation of whatever happened in 2019 with Prince Andrew and its aftermath. Almost all the characters shown in the series are inspired by real-life people, though it is possible that the director might have taken certain creative liberties in portraying them and dramatized the narrative just to increase the entertainment quotient. So, let’s get to know these characters a little more and find out what happened to them after the disastrous BBC interview that shook the entire nation.

Prince Andrew

Life was not the same after Prince Andrew gave the Newsnight interview to the BBC. Although he still lived in the Royal Lodge (which in itself became an issue for the royal family), he lost his reputation, and he was referred to as “the disgraced” by the people. Michael Sheen played Prince Andrew in the series, and I must...
