Robin & Company

If they had to design from scratch the perfect morning headline news host I suspect the manufactured model wouldn't come too far astray from Ms. Meade. Robin is drop dead gorgeous (along the lines of Raquel Welch), articulate, knowledgeable, very natural in her presentation, personable within proper bounds, and doesn't appear too full of herself. Her supporting troops, particularly Jennifer Westhoven on the finances, are adept at handling their assigned spots. I'm not much for the news shows but Express spends just enough time on each topic to keep me interested without boring me. They also try to steer away from too many sensational Nancy Grace-type stories that kill most cable news shows for me (when they tease a Nancy Grace item I'm gone). BUT BEWARE of 1) the number of commercials HLN will throw at you during this show, and 2) the inaccuracies that crop up and hang around even after you send them an email on their mistake (like the one about "John Denver" - dead for years - being cited for excessive noise). All that said, still gets a qualified thumbs up.

I gave it 6 stars because they use shyann Malone and her weird all teeth smile to fill in now and again. She's pretty but her smile drives me crazy.

Headline News hit it right when they finally decided to give the hot and beautiful Mrs. Meade a program of her own to host. Perfectly titled "Robin and Company" this morning news program will get you rolling in the right direction. Robin is an ex Miss Ohio who's talented and her beautiful looks helped her break into the broadcasting world, and thank god for that it's nice to see a beautiful smiling face every morning! Robin always dresses the best and looks ravishing and tells the news in a professional and nice manner. The program is always informative with the latest news and headlines both domestic and international. Also the entertainment and finance reports are useful, and the air travel report comes in handy when someone is leaving and getting their news on the go! Robin is always such a cut up her laughter brings a special element of success to the program making her a pleasure to watch! So you and everyone should know that the new queen of morning news is the talented and beautiful Robin Meade who's a must watch in the morning.

Robin's style of news reporting is refreshing and enjoyable to watch. You get a sense of Robin's sweet personality, with her boisterous laugh and huge smile. Robin doesn't put on the fireworks all the time, which is great because it would get irritating after four hours on the air.

In December 2006, the Robin & Company set was upgraded, part of the new furniture included a couch. Currently, the entertainment news with reporter Adrianna Costa is presented there. The new set looks great, and with the addition of the news bar scroll on the bottom of the screen being reduced in size, you can finally get a better look at Robin & Company without squinting.

I know this is a morning show, but since I live on the West Coast, I usually catch Robin right before I go to bed. (As the show starts at 3AM!) I usually record this show to my DVR and watch in the afternoon, or at night.

If you have never seen this show, turn in to the CNN Headline News channel from 3AM - 7AM PST. --- 6AM - 10AM EST.

You will be glad that you did!

I guess commercials weren't bad enough, but now they are pitching discount tote bags between the copious salutes to the troops and fluffy cloud/snow pics. I really can't take this show seriously anymore.
