My boss is leaving HLN



Albie Hecht, my boss at HLN is leaving. Here's what the AP is reporting...


Hecht, a former executive at Spike and Nickelodeon, joined the former Headline News two years ago to guide the network in the direction of being a social media hub.
That hasn't really worked, and CNN U.S. President Jeff Zucker said in a memo to staff Tuesday that he wants more of the non-fiction programming being created for CNN to appear on HLN during daytime and overnight hours.
"In light of that, Albie Hecht has decided it makes sense for him to move on," Zucker wrote. Veteran CNN executive Ken Jautz will be the interim chief at HLN.
No changes appear planned for the network's most recognizable on-air personalities, Robin Meade, Nancy Grace and Drew Pinsky.
