I admit that what I would like to see happen with CNN if the Murdoch deal goes through is Ted Turner buying CNN back, kicking Dougie Zucker out, putting back a news interview show at 9, building the bureaus and personnel back up, returning to news shows built around packages and on-the-spot coverage instead of biovators and making HLN "around the world in 30 minutes, this is Headline News" again. (I"m not going to say bring back "Sports Tonight," since the argument can be made that if people want sports news, they'll watch a sports channel--and there is now NBCSN and FS1 as competition to ESPN.) But I wonder if Ted would have the money by himself to do that a second time.
