The "Anderson Cooper 360" host is in talks with Telepictures Productions and Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution for a program that would be pitched to stations in the next couple of weeks
targeted to launch in fall 2011. The project will not have a hard-news focus, though given Cooper's background, he'll likely bring a more journalistic approach to handling popular topics compared to
most daytime fare. Barbara Walters and Meredith Viera also made the crossover from news to daytime.
The show is billed as a topical format that will cover everything from celebrities
and pop culture to social issues and wide-interest news stories. Using his well-established interview skills, Cooper's show is expected to welcome a broad range of guests and tackle debate-provoking
subjects.
