November 5, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer 5

Updated Nov. 6, 2012, 1:04pm CT It all comes down to this. After over a year of campaigning, Nov. 6 is Election Day in America, when citizens will finally (hopefully) know who will be the President of the United States for the next four years, as well as the results of various other Senate, House and local races and ballot initiatives. While other third-party presidential candidates are on some ballots, the result in the presidential race will either be the re-election of incumbent Democrat Barack Obama, or the election of his Republican challenger, Gov. Mitt Romney. Naturally, with a huge […]

Among the notable headliners expected to speak […]

January 20, 2012 Channel Guide Staff 1

Of all the questions people throw Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s way — and there are many for the neurosurgeon who is also CNN’s chief medical correspondent — among the most common deal with high-school football and concussions. Is the game safe? Can it be made safe and still be the same sport? Should I let my kid play?

Rose High School football team of Greenville, N.C. […]

November 13, 2011 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Stacey Harrison Follow @ChannelGuideSRH Bringing together a group of strangers to live in one house while they strive for professional success may sound like an irreverent cross between The Real World and The Apprentice, but CNN’s latest Black in America special has some very serious issues in mind. “The New Promised Land: Silicon Valley” — which premieres tonight at 8pm — has Soledad O’Brien following eight African-Americans seeking to become tech entrepreneurs. While it would be a tough path for anyone — the special states that 80% of tech ventures fail — the odds are especially high seeing as […]

Christine O’Donnell cops out on “Piers Morgan Tonight”

August 18, 2011 Tom Comi 1

By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuide When exactly did former, current and aspiring politicians come to the determination that they were not going to be interviewed on an interview program? Last night’s airing of Piers Morgan Tonight provided yet another example of a delusional person in the political arena thinking they have the right to control what they will and won’t be asked. Christine O’Donnell was on the CNN show to promote her book Troublemaker, which covers her religious, political and philosophical beliefs. This means that everything should be open for discussion. Period. And considering O’Donnell lost her bid to win […]

Many Americans vow not to watch royal vows

April 21, 2011 Tom Comi Comments Off

You wouldn’t know it by all of the hype, TV coverage and endless blogs on sites like this, but a survey conducted by PriceGrabber has concluded that there is not as much interest in the forthcoming Royal wedding as some might think. It’s not to surprising that 41 percent of the respondents said they are disinterested in the April 29th wedding between Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton, but it does speak volumes when 77 percent said they do not plan to get up in the wee hours of the morning to watch live coverage on NBC, CBS, ABC, […]

Bidding farewell to the evening newcast

April 13, 2011 Tom Comi Comments Off

By Tom Comi There was a time when anchoring the evening news was the premier broadcasting job in the business. But with Katie Couric looking to step down from her perch at CBS, it begs the question as to what role broadcast networks actually serve in news nowadays. In the glory days of TV news, every TV journalist in the country aspired to helm the evening newscast on NBC, CBS and ABC. It wasn’t a temporary stop or stepping stone but rather a place where the elite of the elite stayed until they retired, passed away or were fired. Names […]
