Clip of Lynne Russell's last CNN Headline News broadcast

She had been with the network from the early days but knew the writing was on the wall with radical changes coming later in 2001. These brought minor Hollywood star Andrea Thompson in to Lynne's Headline News primetime slot with disastrous consequences. After Lynne Russell's sign off there is a tribute from the networks first anchor: Chuck Roberts, who is still with HLN (it's current name).

Random much?

From here, Lynne went on to act as a relief newsreader for CBC Newsworld in Canada - she now presents as a weekend presenter for a radio station in Toronto.
