By Chris Ariens 

  • Ed O’Keefe is leaving ABCNews.com for Planet Daily, where he’ll be editor-in-chief of the new social video news start-up. O’Keefe has been with ABC News 12 years, joining as a desk assistant in Washington.

  • Kathryn Kudravi joins CNN as the editorial director for CNN Sports, a new position. Kudravi joins from ESPN where she spent the last 10 years. In her new Atlanta-based job, Kudravi will be the primary sports liaison to CNN managers.

  • “ABC World News” has swapped out the voice of “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe, for another ABC News announcer. The change happened last week. We asked ABC why, but weren’t given an answer. Rowe had been the voice of “World News” since Dec. 2009.
