Programming Changes

We all noticed that the second hour of AC360 was identical to the first hour on Monday. Tuesday, they actually got twenty minutes into the eleven o'clock hour before running with repeats. Unfortunately, it appears that the duplication is at least semi-permanent. This from Inside Cable News:

AC 360 summer programming changes…

ICN received email from alert Anderson Cooper 360 viewers inquiring about AC 360 cutting back on its live coverage to just the first hour. I looked into it and here’s the story:

AC 360 will be live from 10 pm ET to the top of the 11 pm hour. The rest of the 11 pm hour will be tape. However, if there’s a breaking news occurring the program will continue live as warranted. This format will remain in place for the rest of the summer.

We fear this may be the harbinger of other schedule changes, but hope we're wrong.
