'Crossfire' returning to CNN

[marmar]

It's official—CNN is bringing back "Crossfire."

After months of speculation, the network announced on Wednesday that the debate program will return with four new hosts. Newt Gingrich and S.E. Cupp will represent the right, with Stephanie Cutter and Van Jones hosting from the left. The network did not reveal any additional programming details like its return date or time.

CNN's new president Jeff Zucker said in a statement, "Few programs in the history of CNN have had the kind of impact on political discourse that Crossfire did – it was a terrific program then, and we believe the time is right to bring it back and do it again. We look forward to the opportunity to host passionate conversation from all sides of the political spectrum. 'Crossfire' will be the forum where America holds its great debates." ........................(more)
