Another NewsNight

 CNN has changed its evening schedules (as viewed in America) and two women get big shows.

"CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip" is at 10pm Eastern Time, and is followed by "Laura Coates Live", at 11pm. 

The LA Times asked both women what they thought of new boss Mark Thompson. 

Abby: "I’m thrilled to have a fresh perspective and someone who is extremely excited about CNN programming. Mark has a real hunger to insure that it’s not just the stories inside the Beltway that get our attention. That speaks volumes to me as someone who has lived most of her life outside the Beltway. He has become an intellectual kindred spirit — he subscribes, like me, [to the view] that it’s not the quantity of the stories. It’s the quality."

Laura: "Mark has the right mix of skills for the challenge like this. He’s very pleasant to be around in the brief interaction we’ve had so far. His job requires someone with a lot of experience and who has a track record of collaboration. I’m in a hopeful place and I think it’s going to be great."
