The Afternoon Ticker: Banfield, Jeras, Linny Boyette

• Ashleigh Banfield made her daytime debut on CNN today as the anchor of the network’s 11amET hour. Banfield, who makes the move from CNN’s “Early Start,” will anchor the newscast from New York.

• Meteorologist Jacqui Jeras, who was cut from CNN in May after 13 years with the network, will begin at WJLA in Washington, DC next month, TVSpy reports.

• “Today” superfan Linny Boyette was back at Studio 1A this morning on the show’s first day back from London. During the Olympics, Linny turned up at “GMA,” but it appears his allegiance to NBC remains intact now that the Games are done.
