Reminder: 1982-2002 CNN Headline News was the best cable news channel ever.

Recent HLN layoffs have got me waxing nostalgic for the good old days of the day’s top stories packaged in an easily digestible 30 minute package on rotation, delivered by Lynn Russell:

I used to love waking up early as a kid to see the LSU basketball score at the bottom of the screen on CNN to see if we won only to be disappointed during the end of Dale Brown era lol.

The advances in technology are part of why cable news is garbage now

Not getting any fun out of the news is EXACTLY what made old school Headline News important. It was news for people who just wanted to hit the high points and didn't want to binge-watch 24 hour news like people do today. We had Seinfeld and ER to watch back in the day.

Can't have an HLN thread w/o the face of that network,Robin Meade....C'mon people!



She hosted Morning Express for a generation.

Her first day was 9/11.

Beautiful woman. Even into her mid 50's.

Hate it for her. I've had a couple of friends meet her and they say she couldn't of been nicer.

Hopefully she stays on at CNN in some capacity, she is an institution.

Robin Meade seems like a sweetheart. And cute too.

Atlanta-based morning host Robin Meade was the last key personality standing. Meade was the weekday morning host for more than 21 years, the longest running morning news anchor in TV history, recently exceeding Matt Lauer’s tenure at NBC’s “Today” show.
