"I'm pleased to announce that Kim Bondy has agreed to tackle one of our most important objectives: growth in the morning daypart.

As of tomorrow, Kim assumes the post of Vice President, Morning Programming, overseeing Daybreak and American Morning. Bryan Bell will continue executive producing Daybreak, reporting to Kim.

Mornings are the fastest-growing segment of television viewing. Kim's unique combination of experience -- running Weekend Today and managing our franchise units -- puts CNN in an excellent position to compete aggressively for the morning audience.

Please join me in congratulating Kim and wishing her the best as she takes on this challenge."
