CNN Unveils All-Kitten Election Night Team

For the past few presidential elections, 24-hour news network CNN has been known for its Election Night technology.  In 2008 the network debuted a studio filled with giant touch screens and contributors beamed in via hologram.

For 2012, CNN is pulling out all the stops.  At a press event this morning in the company’s headquarters Atlanta, GA, the network unveiled its Election Night news team.

Gone are mainstays Wolf Blitzer, John King, Candy Crowley and Anderson Cooper – instead, CNN’s 18-straight hours of November 6 news coverage will be anchored by a team of kittens.

“Some might think it an extremely risky move to rely on a group of rookies for such a huge live news event,” said media gazer Ron Calumet, “but I think this is smart for CNN.  They need something to energize ratings and kittens are really, really popular.”
