Questions…

I’ll be away from the blog until mid-afternoon, which leaves plenty of time to answer these questions:

> How are Today Show staffers responding to Noah Oppenheim‘s new producer position? Do they still cringe when they read his Weekly Standard piece?

> What’s the next move by CNBC’s Mark Hoffman? Are producers feeling more pressure to make things “more action-packed?” Jim Cramer‘s show is addictive, so what will they develop for 7pm?

> Is CNN’s American Morning leaving its Time/Life home (two blocks north of FNC) and moving into Paula Zahn‘s studio by mid-summer? By the way, how did Paula’s retooled People In The News pilot come out?

> “NBC News correspondents in the network’s investigative unit have told colleagues they will resist appearing on MSNBC when Cosby starts,” a tipster says. “Several members of the NBC team are still bitter over stories/scoops that took weeks of NBC legwork, only to see Cosby put the same story on Fox just moments after the pieces aired on Nightly News.” Is “Rita Cosby backlash” evident at NBC?
