Why does it seem Brianna Kiellar's move to the early morning "New Day" show...

on CNN seem like a less visible platform, and where it even appears she's the second banana behind John Berman?

Maybe CNN thought the move would shore up New Day's ratings against the "Morning Joe" show but IMO it sure doused the bright light that Kiellar's midday show was. After the stellar work she was putting in on the later show, this new, early-day placement doesn't seem the best use of her talent.

It's not just that it's too early for me either. After taping and getting up early a couple of times to watch, her talents seem better served for a later in the day show. Heck I wish she was on prime time with her own show. I don't know why they moved her and it was considered a promotion. Does morning get more watchers before people head off to work? Whatever I sure do miss tuning in at noon every day to see her.
