LOL! Agree with you. She's fabulous, but a bit much for the current situation .


Which hasn't stopped Julia Chatterley and Wolf appearing daily at the moment.
I dread to think what Julia has been like this week given the oil prices. I think most of the CNNI anchors are great but just can't take to her presenting style at all.

Add me to those who'd like to see more of Becky if possible - a CNNI stalwart and hards as nail.

I don't think I've seen Becky on air ever since the whole crisis started.

She did do CTW from London for a few days towards the end of March, possibly the last shows to air from CNN London

They should’ve let them have a go at the primetime show - the possibilities are endless.

The Lead With Cookie Monster
Elmo Outfront
The Situation Room With Kermit The Frog
Jeffmister, LivefromORL and what gave kudos

I watched most of it and thought they did a really good job of making Covid-19 accessible for kids and answering questions for parents too.

Obviously there was a heavy US-bias towards it with almost all questions from within the States.

What absolute nonsense they are airing while completely ignoring the Tara Reade accusations of sexual assault against CNN's favorite Joe Biden. Shocked

Even now when the Larry King clip of her mother calling in to the show from 1993 has been unearthed they have stayed QUIET. But we did get the all important report on Bryan Stelter crying himself to sleep because of Coronavirus. Rolling Eyes

Shame on you CNN. And then some dare to say they are better than FOX News.....

I enjoyed this show. It made me feel like a child-at-heart again. But come to think about it, this is the only CNN feature outside those 'Cable in the Classroom' series (e.g. CNN Newsroom of the 1990s) that seems to be geared towards kids.

Anna Coren filling in for Michael Holmes this weekend. Anna seems to be the fill in for the overnights from Atlanta, seem to recall she covered for Natalie Allen recently. Interesting that the go to fill in is all the way around the world, not too long ago CNN Center was swarming with talent.

Also of note, Saturday night featured a 11:30PM CNN International produced edition of CNN Newsroom. If I understand correctly, it’s been a very long time since CNNI produced live content in this time slot.

Great to see her in the anchor chair again. Anna Coren from Hong Kong used to be daily viewing for me, and then it seemed like she disappeared and only occasionally pops up these days.

I think she moved to reporting shortly after CNN Newsroom from Hong Kong replaced her slot (which later evolved into CNN Today from Atlanta and then Your World Today from London).
She’s still been with CNN I think as she seems to be the most frequent presenter of Talk Asia and was prominent in their reporting on the Australian bushfires and Hong Kong protests. CNNI has quite a few very good Asia correspondents (Ivan Watson, Will Ripley, Paula Hancocks and David Culver all spring to mind and Kristie seems to be a correspondent these days) which is maybe why she’s less visible than she once was as does CNN’s America focus.

CNNI’s Aussie anchors generally are among the best on the Network.

Says everything when a briefing from Elmo and Big Bird is more informative than a briefing from the President.
