What happened was that Glenn Beck bolted his 7PM show on Headline News to go to Fox, as in "I'm outta here, bye." So Headline News grabbed one of their freelancers, Jane Velez-Mitchell, told her to get on a plane, gave her the time slot and had her on the air that same day.
Now here is the good part:
The sudden assignment became a surprising success for Headline News, which was formally renamed HLN in January. Ms. Velez-Mitchell’s hour of water-cooler talk, delivered with heavy doses of opinion, reached an average of 596,000 viewers in February, up 74 percent from the slot’s average for the same month last year, when the conservative commentator Glenn Beck was the host.Sweet. Maybe Fox will consider dumping him.
