CBS adds O’Donnell to its morning show

NEW YORK

CBS is making another change in the morning by bringing in Norah O’Donnell as a host of its morning show.

O’Donnell is the network’s chief White House correspondent. She’ll replace Erica Hill on “CBS This Morning,” the third-rated network behind ABC’s “Good Morning America” and NBC’s “Today” show.

CBS revamped its morning show in January, bringing in Charlie Rose and Gayle King to host with Hill and giving it a harder news approach.

It hasn’t clicked in the ratings, though — CBS is down from last year.

PBS video honors ‘Painting’ host

LOS ANGELES

On the heels of PBS’ hit Mister Rogers video mashup, a second public TV favorite is getting the star treatment.

PBS said Thursday it has posted a video remix with clips from “The Joy of Painting” instructional series, featuring the late Bob Ross.

“The Joy of Painting,” still seen in repeats, aired on PBS from 1983 to 1994 with its bushy-haired, mellow-voiced host. Ross died in 1995 of cancer at age 52.
