A 'Capital' Obit

Several obits out there today for CNN’s Capital Gang, which ends this weekend after 16 years. CNN is cancelling the show as part of its leave-no-show-alone programming shake-up.

Replacing the Gang will be an expanded version of CNN’s “On the Story,” a show you’ve probably never heard of. “On the Story” originally launched in January 2003 as a place for the network’s female correspondents to “compare notes on the major stories they cover each week.”

The new format will include males (!) and more international coverage, led by Christiane “I found a monkey” Amanpour, and be moved to in front of a live audience at The George Washington University auditorium formerly used by “Crossfire.”
