CNN's New Guest Host

CNN has announced a regular substitute host for the aging, cable news legend, Larry King. Pulling in 20 primetime interviews, per contract agreement, with filling in for King as needed, IS..... Bob Costas.

No, The Delta Institute doesn't know what kind of contract Mr. Costas has that allows him, a NBC man, to pull hosting duties for CNN. Though CNN denies it, this could very well be "grooming" a replacement.

What say you? Would you rather watch an interviewer who ask very simple questions, who prefers to let guest just talk(King), or watch an actual interviewer, known for his storytelling and interview skills(Costas)?

With CNN's ratings declining, they could use all the star power they can get. Especially since their debute simulcast of CNNi's Your World Today, which they billed as a great, essential program, failed to impress their fanbase. (viewership for the premiere dropped about 35,000 viewers)
