NEW YORK (AP) - CNN Headline News isn't the first place you'd look for
comedy, but the network says it will try to have fun with some of the clips in
its news archives.
"Not Just Another Cable News Show" will premiere April 5, the network said
Monday.
"It's an entertaining way to recall some of the more memorable moments
captured on video," said Ken Jautz, executive vice president at CNN Worldwide.
The 30-minute show will be on Saturdays at 7 p.m. EDT, then repeated twice
later in the evening. It will be followed each time by "News to Me," a series
that shows hot Web videos.
The sober CNN has avoided such light material in the past. A few years ago,
CNN International aired reruns of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" for overseas
viewers.
