Get Ready for More Changes at HLN

New boss Albie Hecht set to 're-position the brand'

HLN is headed for some major changes. The network has canceled its 12 p.m. show Raising America and its 5 p.m. show Evening Express (anchored by Kyra Philips and Ryan Smith, respectively) and will lay off a number of its staff, though the laid-off workers will be able to apply for a smaller number of new positions—a tune that may sound familiar to those who've worked in news production.

Spike TV founder Albie Hecht was tapped by CNN president Jeff Zucker to run the network starting Sept.
