She’s seen tragedy and trauma up close. Now Sara Sidner is CNN’s go-to in daytime
LA TimesThere isn’t much that scares veteran CNN correspondent Sara Sidner. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen such destruction on a large scale and I have been doing this a minute,” Sidner said in an interview from CNN headquarters in New York. Sidner joined John Berman and Kate Bolduan, already familiar to the network’s daytime viewers, on “CNN News Central,” a three-hour block airing from 6 to 9 a.m. Pacific. John Berman, Sara Sidner and Kate Bolduan will oversee “CNN News Central.” Over the long term, “CNN News Central” is another step by Licht to reinvent the venerable news brand for its owner, Warner Bros. Licht said he wanted Sidner as part of “CNN News Central” because of her energy, her experience in the field, and her “genuine excitement around the news, as opposed to some that are brought on because they have general excitement about the left or the right.” “I want people that are excited about the news and can deliver that energy into programming,” Licht said.
