CNN Headline News scraps afternoon newscast

CNN Headline News said Monday it will eliminate its 4 to 6 p.m. ET newscast in order to bolster its editorial resources elsewhere. Coanchors Thomas Roberts and Kathleen Kennedy will remain at the cable news channel in as-yet-unspecified roles.

To fill the time, two newscasts will be increased by an hour each. Those are newscasts anchored by Christi Paul and Mike Galanos, and by Chuck Roberts and Linda Stouffer.
