Hala Gorani’s show to rebrand amid contract negotiations
According to a CNN insider, London-based anchor Hala Gorani will soon front Hala Gorani Tonight, replacing The World Right Now, which she has hosted for over three years. No time slot changes are expected.
The show is expected to be similar to the one she currently hosts, but with “more Hala” in it. Gorani was said to have recently re-signed with CNN International.
When delivering a commencement address in 2015, she joked she would rename her show “The Doctor Will See You Now, with Hala Gorani.”

CNN’s silly obsession with making the hosts more important than the news is just ridiculous. The anchors have too much power.
I suppose the new name is more fitting. Another hour of world news gone over to opinionated programming.
I guess Hala will have to present more now then, as it will be ridiculous having regular other people ‘sitting in’ on Hala Tonight.
They should just sack the presenters who want their names on the titles, it should be about the news not the presenter.
