Cristin Milioti, Megan Thee Stallion and Kathy Bates are among the recipients of this year’s Gracie Awards by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.

This year’s celebration marks the 50th anniversary of the awards and will highlight the impact of women’s voices across television, audio, streaming, and digital platforms. Previous honorees of the Gracies have include Ava DuVernay, Carol Burnett, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, Marlo Thomas, Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey, and Sandra Oh.

“For 50 years, the Gracie Awards have honored the storytellers who push boundaries and redefine what’s possible,” said Becky Brooks, President of Awmf, in a statement. “This is more than an awards show—it is a movement that has championed inclusion, representation, and truth in the media. The women we celebrate today are shaping the next 50 years, ensuring that our narratives are not just seen or heard, but felt and remembered.

If there’s one pair that viewers have come to love for New Year’s Eve shenanigans, it’s Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. And yes, the two will be reuniting to ring in 2025.

For the last six years, the duo has hosted “CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live,” most often going viral for drunken moments on air as the night goes on. In 2022, then-cnn head Chris Licht announced that on-air personnel wouldn’t be allowed to drink during the network’s programming, with the logic being that on-camera drinking damaged the credibility of reporters in the eyes of viewers.

Cooper and Cohen were technically exempt from that mandate, but opted not to drink anyway, in solidarity with their fellow on-air talent. Instead, they took mystery shots of non-alcoholic beverages throughout the night, ranging from pickle juice to buttermilk.

So, what will this year bring? We’ve got the details for you below.

Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen will be back in Times Square for the eighth year in a row to host CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live 2025 special and we have all the details you need to know.

The special begins at 8:00pm Et and will continue until 12:30am Et.

Throughout the night, CNN reporters will providing coverage from around the country and the network’s Sara Sidner, Harry Enten, and Cari Champion will take over the celebration at 12:30am Et, counting down to the new year as the Central Time Zone rings in 2025 from Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas.

The special will air live on CNN and stream live on Max for subscribers.

Former MTV veejay Ananda Lewis is standing her ground despite fan concern over her decision not to undergo the doctor-recommended surgery for her Stage III breast cancer, which has spread and is now Stage IV. “You can’t spend your time wishing you did things differently. You will never live. I’m not going to spend time regretting. I understand that people don’t get it,” she told host Shameika Rhymes on the radio show Soulibration from BlackDoctor.org on Wednesday (October 16). “They’re entitled to their opinion.” Lewis, diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer in early 2024, drew backlash earlier this week over her round-table discussion with CNN’s Stephanie Elam and CNN anchor Sara Sidner. She stated she chose not to have a double mastectomy, going against doctor’s recommendations, after long refusing a mammogram. “I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way,...

Former MTV veejay Ananda Lewis has shared that her breast cancer has spread and is now stage IV in a heartbreaking interview with CNN on Tuesday (October 15). The 51-year-old previously opened up about being diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in a 2020 Instagram post, saying that she’d refused mammograms for years over a fear of radiation exposure. However, during a round-table discussion on cancer with panelists Stephanie Elam and anchor Sara Sidner — who herself was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer this year — Lewis stated she went against her doctors’ recommendation for a double mastectomy after she was diagnosed.

Election season is in the air and Turner Classic Movies is here to celebrate. Starting on September 6 and continuing every Friday up until this year’s general election, TCM will be running a nine-week limited series entitled “Making Change: The Most Significant Political Films of All Time.” This cinematic showcase is inspired by The New Republic rankings released in June 2023 and includes selections such as “All the King’s Men,” “Germany, Year Zero,” and “High and Low.”

To introduce the upcoming series, TCM host Ben Mankiewicz took to Washington D.C. for a trailer highlighting some of the films featured, as well as special guests like Stacey Abrams, Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, and John Turturro.

“I grew up here in Washington D.C.,” Mankiewicz said, the Capitol Building behind him. “My father’s life was politics — capital P politics. Though I went in a different direction, I understood at an early age,...

In the run-up to Election Day, TCM is going after the movie lovers’ popular vote by showing 50 films over nine successive Fridays under the banner Making Change: The Most Significant Political Films of All Time.

The series runs Sept. 6 to Nov. 1 — four days before America votes for its next president — and features TCM host Ben Mankiewicz in conversation with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, Lee Grant, Sally Field, Andy Garcia, Melissa Etheridge, John Turturro, Bill Maher, Alexander Payne, Diane Lane, Josh Mankiewicz, Barry Levinson, Maureen Dowd, Stacey Abrams and former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

Watch the trailer here.

Making Change showcases half of the movies unveiled by The New Republic in the rankings it released in June 2023. The films on TCM span the years 1915 to 2016 (from D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation to Raoul Peck’s I Am Not Your Negro); the whole thing kicks off with the No.

“After five months of chemo, I have not yet become cancer-free,” she said.

CNN anchor Sara Sidner told viewers today that she will undergo a double mastectomy on Wednesday and will be away for the next few weeks as she recovers.

Earlier this year, Sidner said that she was being treated for stage three breast cancer, even as she continues in her network duties.

“What I have learned so far in my cancer journey is treating it is more of a marathon than a sprint,” Sidner said this morning. “After five months of chemo, I have not yet become cancer free. The next phase is a double mastectomy.”

She added that a 2016 study found that the 10-year survival rate for a bilateral mastectomy is 90.3%. “I like those odds,” she said.

“We cannot wait for you to get back,” said co-anchor Kate Bolduan. Sidner, Bolduan and John Berman have co-anchored CNN News Central since April, 2023.

Earlier this year, Sidner said that “stage three is...

Updated: CNN is dropping the latest iteration of CNN This Morning as part of a shake-up of its morning lineup.

Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly have anchored the show since August, after several lineup changes since its debut in the fall of 2022. Kasie Hunt’s 5 a.m. Et show, known as Early Start, will expand an hour and take on the CNN This Morning title.

Changes will go into effect later this month.

CNN News Central, meanwhile, will move to 7 a.m. Et and run until 10 a.m. Et, with anchors John Berman, Kate Bolduan and Sara Sidner.

Jim Acosta, who has anchored a weekend show, will anchor CNN Newsroom at 10 a.m. Et and Pamela Brown will anchor an 11 a.m. Et hour starting in the spring. Wolf Blitzer will anchor the hour until she returns from maternity leave. Brown’s show will be called The Bulletin with Pamela Brown.

CNN has told staff it is moving its much-hyped Chris Licht-era morning show, This Morning, from New York to its Atlanta headquarters, two people familiar with the matter have told The Hollywood Reporter.

The show’s 50-person team have been told they can reapply for jobs within the network, according to the people familiar. Phil Mattingly and Poppy Harlow will be moving to new roles, per sources.

CNN will move up its News Central show, hosted by John Berman, Sara Sidner and Kate Bolduan, to help fill the time slot. Early Start host Kasie Hunt will anchor from 5 a.m.-7 a.m. Et, News Central moves from 7 a.m.-10 a.m. and Jim Acosta signs on at 10 a.m. Et.

The network declined comment.

CNN’s new chief, Mark Thompson, sent a note to staffers, below:

Dear all,

I wanted to let the whole CNN family know...

CNN is turning some of the lights out on its efforts to produce morning news.

The network is revamping its entire A.M. schedule as the Warner Bros. Discovery-based cable news outlet continues to grapple with poor ratings.

Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly, who co-anchor “CNN This Morning,” will leave the line-up, while Kasie Hunt’s early-morning program will take on an extra hour. Her show, “Early Start,” will run from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., and will take on the “CNN This Morning” title. CNN will then move “CNN News Central,” anchored by John Berman, Kate Bolduan and Sara Sidner, to a 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. slot, with Jim Acosta and Pamela Brown taking over new hours at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m.

The moves mean, as CNN CEO Mark Thompson said in a note to staffers Monday, that “we will no longer produce morning programming in...

Sara Sidner, CNN News Central co-anchor, revealed on Monday she is fighting stage 3 breast cancer.

In an emotional moment on air, Sidner asked her audience to “take a second to recall the names of eight women who you love and know in your life,” adding that one in every eight women fights breast cancer at some point in their lives.

“I am that one in eight in my friend group,” Sidner, 51, continued. “I have never been sick a day in my life. I don’t smoke, I rarely drink, breast cancer does not run in my family, and yet here I am with stage 3 breast cancer.”

Sidner is the co-anchor of CNN News Central alongside John Berman and Kate Bolduan out of the network’s New York City Bureau. She is also a senior national and international correspondent for the channel.

Sidner choked up while sharing the news on Monday.

On October 9, two days after Hamas terrorists crossed over into Israel from Gaza and unleashed the most deadly attack on Jews since the Holocaust, CNN appeared to make the brewing conflict about itself.

The network’s correspondent Clarissa Ward, in a flak jacket marked “press,” was near the Israel-Gaza border during a live shot when Hamas-fired rockets flew overhead. She and her crew of at least four scrambled, the camera still rolling, into a nearby ditch. Laying on her side, an arm extended above her head like she’s grasping at earth, she continued the shot even as she winces from the sound of explosions.

Her tenacity in the moment is admirable, but its news value doesn’t extend beyond the adrenaline of “you are there.” Is this the conflict-zone version of Weather Channel meteorologists putting themselves at risk by broadcasting live and wind-battered from the middle of a hurricane making landfall?...

CNN’s Sara Sidner faced a precarious situation on air today when reporting from the West Bank, as a protester in a pro-Palestinian demonstration confronted her and shouted, “f— CNN.”

Sidner was on the streets of Ramallah when a man ran up and began to shout at her, “You are genocide supporters. You are not welcome here,” before shouting the expletive about the network. She tried to turn away and he eventually left. “You see that people are very angry. They do not like the way that CNN has been reporting the story,” Sidner then told viewers.

“What you are seeing is the heightened fear, anger, frustration with what’s happening,” Sidner said.

The network has not yet commented. But Sidner, who was in a helmet and vest, was unharmed. A security guard was with her and helped her away from the scene.

Sidner, an anchor and correspondent for the network,...

In a real-time reminder of the dangers of covering international conflict, CNN anchor Sara Sidner was reporting live from the West Bank city of Ramallah when a man accosted her on-air to voice criticism of the network’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas War.

“You are genocide supporters. You are not welcome here, genocide supporters,” said a man who came up to Sidner while she was in the middle of reporting on air. “Fuck CNN! Fuck CNN! Genocide supporters.” The scene was transmitted live during “CNN This Morning,” the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed network’s regular A.M. program

Sidner maintained her composure, but there were a few moments on screen when CNN’s cameras appeared to be forced back from her. Security personnel were seen moving in to her position, and, after a few moments, escorting her away from the scene. She continued to respond to anchor Erin Burnett, on...

Juneteenth, which falls on June 19, commemorates the fall of slavery in the United States.

It celebrates the anniversary of the order made by Major General Gordon Granger on June 1965 that proclaimed freedom for slaves in Texas. The order was actually made two years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

In a tweet Monday, former President Obama explained it as the “delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas.” In 2021, President Biden made Juneteenth a federal holiday.

Executives at the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news outlet intend to follow the programming strategy Licht approved during his 13 months at the operation, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Yes, Kaitlan Collins will lead CNN’s 9 p.m. hour. Dana Bash is still scheduled to take over the noontime program “Inside Politics.” Poppy Harlow will remain at the helm of CNN’s new morning show, paired with someone new (Phil Mattingly and Sara Sidner have made frequent appearances in recent weeks). And “News Central,” the CNN daytime show that aims to lend the tension of breaking news to the usual proceedings, is backed by much of the staff, these people said.

CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

Los Angeles, May 3 (Ians) Writer and comedian Adam Conover blasted David Zaslav, Warner Bros Discovery CEO, during an interview with CNN, a company that Zaslav also oversees, reports ‘Variety’.

“David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of the network I’m talking to you on right now, was paid $250 million last year, a quarter of a billion dollars,” Conover said during his interview with CNN’s star reporter and anchor Sara Sidner, according to ‘Variety’.

“That’s about the same level as what 10,000 writers are asking him to pay all of us collectively, alright. I would say if you’re being paid $250 million — these companies are making enormous amounts of money. Their profits are going up. It’s ridiculous for them to plead poverty,” Conover said, tweeting later: “Went on CNN to explain why writers are striking, ended up roasting their bosses’ salary.”

Kate Bolduan’s next shift on CNN hasn’t started quite yet, but she’s acting as if it has. A group of cameras is flocking around the news anchor in a New York studio that has recently been updated, and she presses producers to let her rehearse a story she needs to have mastered by the time she gets on air. “We don’t want to get this half right,” she tells those listening to her.

Neither does the news network.

Bolduan and five of her on-air colleagues, along with dozens of crew members and producers working in New York, Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, are taking part in a major TV-news experiment that is going to play out each weekday for the foreseeable future at CNN. The question the Warner Bros. Discovery network is trying to solve: How to keep viewers watching TV news when they have video...

CNN News Central, the network’s new daytime programming blocks, will begin its roll out next week.

The New York-based morning block, airing from 9 Am Et to noon Et, will debut on Monday, April 3, with anchors John Berman, Kate Bolduan and Sara Sidner.

The Washington, D.C.-based block, airing from 1 Pm Et to 4 Pm Et, will debut on April 17, with anchors Brianna Keilar, Boris Sanchez and Jim Sciutto.

The revamped daytime lineup is intended to replicate the feel of election night, with heavy use of graphics and visuals, highlighting correspondents in the midst of newsgathering. Some of the elements were featured in CNN’s weeklong coverage in January of Capitol Hill as the House cast 15 ballots to eventually elect Kevin McCarthy as the next speaker. CNN News Central also will feature new sets for both blocks.

In the first quarter of this year, CNN averaged 478,000 viewers, down 27% from a year earlier.

CNN announced today a new addition to the network’s Sunday primetime lineup, The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, a collection of unique and immersive single subject, one-hour episodes from CNN’s Emmy® and Peabody Award-winning longform storytelling team. The recurring weekly series will be hosted by Cooper and showcase character-driven stories, special interviews, profiles, and investigative deep dives featuring reporting from CNN’s anchors and correspondents. The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper premieres Sunday, April 16 at 8pm Et/Pt. “Powered by CNN’s unmatched global journalism operation, The Whole Story goes behind the headlines, touching every continent and corner of the planet, as we bring our viewers into the heart of the essential stories of our time,” said CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht. Hosted by Cooper, new episodes of The Whole Story will air each Sunday, beginning with: – What Happened to San Francisco? – Anchor Sara Sidner travels to San Francisco,...

CNN’s new Sunday lineup is coming into sharper focus.

The latest addition is big one: A weekly program to be anchored by Anderson Cooper. The program, The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, will feature investigations, character-driven profiles, interviews and other long-form reporting.

The Whole Story will air on CNN Sunday nights at 8 p.m., beginning April 16. The program will leverage CNN’s global team of reporters and correspondents.

“Powered by CNN’s unmatched global journalism operation, The Whole Story goes behind the headlines, touching every continent and corner of the planet, as we bring our viewers into the heart of the essential stories of our time,” said CNN Chairman and CEO Chris Licht in a statement.

Licht first said he wanted to add a newsmagazine to CNN’s Sunday lineup at last year’s Warner Bros. Discovery upfront, citing a goal to give CNN’s journalists a primetime platform to tell their stories.

Anderson Cooper will host a new Sunday primetime series for CNN, The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, as the network works to revitalize its nighttime lineup.

The new series, which will be a recurring weekly series, will feature single subject episodes from the network’s longform storytelling team. That will include special interviews, profiles and investigations.

The debut is set for April 16 at 8 Pm Et.

Among the planned episodes will be Sara Sidner’s look at San Francisco and the social issues plaguing the city; Pamala Brown’s examination of claims that Johnson & Johnson’s now discontinued baby powder caused cancer; David Culver’s Magic Mushrooms, looking at the medicine and the money surrounding the psychedelic plant; Erica Hill’s look at the upcoming coronation of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla; and Nick Paton Walsh’s embed with a group of migrants from Central American on their way...
