I thought CNN was closing up things in Atlanta and moving everything in NYC?
They apparently are sticking with the current arrangement that's been in place for a few years now --
The big league "star" anchors who are all based in NY (recently shifted to their new Hudson Yards complex) will continue to be based in NY.
But those other operations, especially involving HLN, Adult Swim, TruTV, TBS, Cartoon Network, etc. will keep on being based in Atlanta for quite
some time to come.
New Day Weekend is broadcast from the former "Headline News" studio in Atlanta, and of course, Robin Meade's longtime "Morning Express" orginates
out of CNN Center too. Looks like Robin just might have the chance to retire while still in Atlanta, after all.
I think a lot of things have prompted CNN to realize it's better to keep operations spread out some - NY, ATL, and DC - because there's always
the chance that in some emergency they may not have them all available at once.
I did find out one thing that kind of surprised me:
WarnerMedia apparently sold off Hudson Yards last year -- barely after moving into it. So they have a leaseback arrangement there until 2034, similar to
the upcoming 5-year deal they'll have with CNN Center in ATL after it's been sold:
