Why is Erica Hill leaving CNN for new job?
It’s a sad day for viewers who enjoy the flirt fest between 360 host Anderson Cooper and co-anchor Erica Hill. Cooper announced last night on “360” that Hill will be leaving CNN news. The silver fox, who made the announcement while Hill was on screen, said: “[I] cannot imagine doing this program without Erica Hill and I cannot really express how much I’m going to miss you.” Hill will be moving to CBS News where she has been co-host of the “Early Show’s” Saturday edition since September 2008. The brunette 33-year-old, who has also occasionally anchored “CNN Tonight,” started at CNN in 2003 as a Headline News anchor. The news comes on the heels of Hill’s October announcement that she is pregnant with her second baby.
