Shake Up at HLN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has the details:
"The general manager of CNN Headline News is switching to a new job with CNN International, the network announced Monday.
Headline News also confirmed that it is revamping its afternoon lineup by canceling one block of programming and expanding two others.
Rolando Santos is leaving his post as executive vice president and general manager of Headline News, a job he has held since 2002, to become senior vice president of international relations with CNN International.
He will start his new duties this month. CNN spokeswoman Janine Iamunno said Santos' duties will be absorbed by Ken Jautz, who oversees Headline News, and another network executive, Bill Galvin. In addition, Headline News is changing its 4-6 p.m. news programming, which had been anchored by Kathleen Kennedy and Thomas Roberts.
Iammuno said Kennedy and Roberts will remain with Headline News but in other roles. Their two-hour slot will be filled by expanding earlier blocks of programming from three hours each to four hours.
The switch means longer on-air duties for four Headline News anchors who work during the day, including veteran Chuck Roberts."
