HLN showed more November growth compared to the same month last year than Fox News and MSNBC. The new-look HLN is up +7 percent in the key A25-54 demo.
More changes are coming for HLN in 2016. As TVNewser reported last week, Albie Hecht, the network’s evp and GM, is stepping down. CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker said HLN programming would resemble CNN “by utilizing a much stronger library of content that has been built in the last three years.”
