Good luck to him. Always thought he did a pretty good job at 5. Can't really see anyone currently on staff who might step in at 5 though.

Surprising he would pick CNN with their decline in ratings lately.

I'm thinking CNN pays more. And it may afford Mr. Abel the opportunity to see the world ... on somebody's else's dime.

I'm surprised he is jumping from one sinking ship onto another.

Everyone leaves Detroit after a few years, but we're an older area with a lot of people who still watch the news. I'm assuming that they're not leaving for the money, but a newer or more exciting area. I've seen comments on social media where people left because of the diversity in this area. Obviously, they were anonymous posts.
