The full two hours of AC 360 has been broadcast on CNNI this week. I wonder if it is a permanent change?

[Junk Junk.]

Yes, it is 2 hrs, Morpium. Although I thought it was just for the publicity of his book, i really enjoyed his program today on "Dispatches from the Edge", It was really commendable.

Anderson Cooper 360° Takes 24-Hour Look at Chicago after Student Slayings.

An unfathomable 27 public school students in Chicago were killed during this past school year – 20 shot, seven stabbed or suffocated. Despite these alarming statistics, this streak of youth violence has received little attention outside of the city. Arne Duncan, the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, claims that if the deaths had occurred in a white suburb, the outcry would be deafening, but, because it was inner-city violence, it has been ignored.

Anderson Cooper and correspondents David Mattingly, Keith Oppenheim and Gary Tuchman will examine what has led to this pattern of violence and try to shed light on who should be held accountable. The one-hour special, “24 Hours in Chicago,” recreates for its viewers a 24-hour stretch of time before one victim, Blair Holt, lost his life.

The program airs during the first hour of Anderson Cooper 360° at 10pm on Thursday, May 31.

It all happened while I slept but I would be interested to know how much personality journalist Anderson Cooper devoted to that horrific Sao Paulo aircrash. 30 seconds or 3 minutes. :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

I flipped over to see if CNN thought it was a newsworthy enough event to put on Int'l instead of the rerun of Coooper that runs an hour after the show was just on - but it was obviously not very important. Coooper gave it about 3 or 4 minutes and then went on to cover riveting news like the hot air coming out of Washington etc. Absolutely critical stuff to rerun.

Anderson Cooper 360 looks set to be cut from two hours to one.

Anderson Cooper is about to do a 180.

CNN is permanently shifting to taped programming for the second hour of "Anderson Cooper 360," scaling back an ambitious programming block created in 2005 to showcase the studio and field-reporting talents of Cooper, who it viewed as an emerging star.

CNN launched Cooper in the two-hour live block starting at 10 p.m. ET in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina two years ago, placing him alongside Aaron Brown, whose "NewsNight" had been extended an additional hour to report on the disaster.

But CNN soon benched Brown and made the two-hour block permanent, with Cooper at the helm, and promoted the anchor's blend of reporting with personality that became his signature.

CNN's cable news competitors air taped programming at 11 p.m. ET, a cheaper proposition, and the second hour of "360" runs second in the ratings to a rerun of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel.

Cooper averaged 747,000 viewers in his second hour in August, less than O'Reilly's 965,000 and a steep drop from the 1.1 million he averaged during the first hour, according to Nielsen.

Sources at competing networks have long speculated that CNN would cancel the second hour and revert to tape at 11 p.m.

[Junk Junk.]

I had noticed the same thing. For the past month or so, AC360's second hour was the same repetition of the first. And CNNI carries the same thing for 2hrs, what a shame.

[ginnyfan]

Can't they do some actual news in the evening? I can't understand a news channel with whole night of replays.

[Richard]

I'm sure it would draw the same (if not larger) audience, and not cost anything at all, if they simulcast CNNI overnight, at least for a few hours. Surely hardly anyone watches these reruns - they would watch/tape them when they were first on if they really wanted to see them. Sadly for people in the US, I don't think this will ever happen.

Here's an update to the earlier report that 360 would be cut back to one hour.

There is no downsizing in Anderson Cooper’s future: A CNN spokesperson stressed that Anderson Cooper 360 will remain a two-hour program for the foreseeable future. (It airs from 10 p.m.-midnight.) About two months ago, the show, which originates from CNN’s New York studios, switched to a mostly taped format for the bulk of the second hour.

Anderson Cooper 360 posted strong numbers with this format for the month of August, which was marked by big national news stories including the Minnesota bridge collapse and the Utah mine tragedy.

Cooper still opens the 11 p.m. hour with 10-15 minutes of live content, but then the show reverts to taped pieces. Of course, Cooper will remain live when breaking news warrants, CNN said.

[theBlockerPH]

As much as that would be fun, Carmen Sandiego totally fufilled that role two decades ago. Hehe!

CNNi to CNN U.S
That seems to be a clean entry into AC on CNNI. Usually they have a dodgy loop of 4 seconds of that theme.

[theBlockerPH]

CNN International always do that if they start too early.
but this is the first time that i see the whole intro.
it's always being cut...

i wish CNN/US do that but it's all transitions from one anchor to another one.

----------

maybe they are transferring the feed from Hong-Kong to Altanta...

[Houston]

Mr. Coooper, we're not "The Longhorn State". It's "The Lone Star State." Duh.

Have you seen this video of spoof of "Single Ladies" by Beyonce featuring an Obama impersonator?



The floor crew of AC360 have done their own version. They aired it on CNN last night. Click here to watch the AC360 crew! It's funny!

[Shinta]

I have to admit to laughing out loud when I saw the crew dancing. One of the best floorcrew Fridays!
