However, I really like On the Story with Erica Hill. Erica's great. I'm giving On the Story a trial run today. I've been avoiding MSNBC, CNN and Fox and the Big 3 network news following the election. This hour of tv with Erica Hill might be my source of news. I know that Erica Hill is not liked by all, but I've always been an advocate. For me, Erica delivers the news in a calm yet serious manner. Thanks @stormy for the recommendation. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16801-hln-now-with-100-more-helmet-hair/page/2/#findComment-2985808

junemeatcleaver February 13, 2017 Share February 13, 2017 HLN has already cut Michaela from three hours down to two. It's disappointing because her 9:00 am central hour was going to be my replacement for the third hour of Today. Oh well. Erica Hill's OK, but she's another one who seems to never work well anywhere.

The only place I liked her was as Anderson Cooper's sidekick/news reader. Erica Hill is boring, she never had the cut or intuition to be a real player in the news business. She has scampered all over so many networks, getting prime positions and she never done well in any of them. When she was close ending her national news career when she was replaced at CBS, she went to NBC and was at weekend Today a couple of years which helped put a little more steam in her national career. Then she went over to HLN. She is in early 40's so at this point in a competitive news media, she will take anything that can stick and going to a low level cable network is better then not having or job or having to work at a medium size local news network. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16801-hln-now-with-100-more-helmet-hair/page/2/#findComment-4189788

Regarding the CO killer dad - I am freaked out by how much the mother posted on her FB page. It is just so against expert's views on social media and families/individuals/children. Were they just living a life to BE ON FB? I noticed Ashleigh saying that the attorney for the defendant wanted the mother's body/fingertips etc to be swabbed for evidence. Now this is just my thinking, for lack of any news, that we know he asked her to separate and maybe that crushed the picture she wanted the world to see. I am awaiting the results to see if maybe she did strangle the girls and he killed her. If she knew, and others also knew, that he had affairs and her family knew they were separating why would he kill the girls? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16801-hln-now-with-100-more-helmet-hair/page/2/#findComment-4666751
stormy September 12, 2018 Share September 12, 2018 (edited) There's a lot of repetitive information. Until the ME's report is released it's all speculation. Shananne's mother's co-worker so causally saying, oh yeah they were going to separate, while she's cutting a client's hair, was sickening.

jumper sage September 23, 2018 Share September 23, 2018 I have always disliked that the hosts of Crime and Justice attack defense attys that they invite on the show to get a perspective of what a defense team might do in certain cases. Why invite someone on a show and then yell at them? Should we just toss out the Constitution? I see Ashleigh now doing the same thing.

junemeatcleaver October 16, 2018 Share October 16, 2018 HLN is changing its lineup again; ditching all programming not produced in Atlanta. Quote With that in mind, HLN has decided to end production of its live news programs based in New York and Los Angeles, which include Across America with Carol Costello, Michaela Pereira, and Crime & Justice with Ashleigh Banfield. Yes, that means the three aforementioned TV newsers will be depart the network as soon as the new schedule goes into effect, Monday, Oct. 29. Nothing they've tried has worked since they ditched the true crime/court coverage for a more "social media" focus years ago. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16801-hln-now-with-100-more-helmet-hair/page/2/#findComment-4756873

Jaded November 26, 2022 Share November 26, 2022 I still love the title of this thread even though it's not exactly true anymore. Now it's Robin Meade's overly long hair and at least one other woman who's on her morning show that wears hers the same way. Morning Express is the only news block now too. I only started watching her show after not seeing it for years because I'm somewhere for health reasons and they have a very limited channel selection.
