HLN is retrenching to Atlanta after moving most of its news operations outside of Robin Meade to New York and Los Angeles.

Three daily live shows have been cut: “Across America with Carol Costello,” “Michaela” and “Crime & Justice with Ashleigh Banfield.”

“I know that you will join me in thanking these incredibly talented journalists and their teams for their dedication and hard work,” HLN boss Ken Jautz said in a memo to staff today.

About 15 jobs have been nixed.

“We will shift some of our resources from live to long-form programming and produce our live shows in as streamlined a manner as possible,” Jautz continued. “The best way to do this is to centralize production of live news programming in Atlanta.”

Meade’s “Morning Express,” which has been based at CNN Center since 2001, will be expanded to 6 a.m. to noon from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. while “On the Story” will add an hour and go from noon to 3 p.m. starting October 29. “On the Story” will also move from New York to Atlanta. That show has been hosted by a rotation of people since Erica Hill moved to CNN in April.

This is rare good news for Atlanta, which has seen resources steadily shifted to other cities over the past decade.

Good news indeed! Would love to see some CNN mainline programming return backed to the Atlanta home ship as well!

Here's a unique and interesting idea: how about turning HLN in to a channel that consists of back to back 30-minute news broadcasts of the top stories? I don't think anyone has ever tried to do that before.

Might get them a little out of the NYC groupthink. All 5 networks are in NYC now.

This sounds like good news for Atlanta...for now. If CNN is axing personel, then it could mean trouble for the company and ultimately for Atlanta down the road.

i think it would be cool to see CNN open up a street level studio on peachtree somewhere around mitchell square, have glass behind them like they do in several major cities.

Yes! I’ve always thought this.
