HLN Retrenches: Ashleigh Banfield, Carol Costello, Michaela Pereira Will Leave in Program Shuffle

HLN, once known as CNN Headline News, will deliver fewer headlines as a result of the cable network’s latest programming shift.

Executives are pulling back on the news programming that has filled the outlet’s daytime schedule in a wide-scale retrenchment at the network, which is part of AT&T’s CNN. HLNin recent years has stocked mornings, afternoons and early evenings with popular hostslike Ashleigh Banfield, Carol Costello and Michaela Pereira. All three will leave HLN as part of the reshuffling, which, according to a person familiar with the matter, will affect between 12 and 15 production and editorial positions in New York and Los Angeles. The bulk of production for HLN daytime will revert to CNN’s Atlanta facilities, where the network’s flagship “Morning Express with Robin Meade” is based.
