CNN weekend anchor T.J. Holmes is moving to BET for his own show...
From Richard Prince's Journal-isms
T.J. Holmes, the affable CNN weekend anchor who told colleagues on Sunday he was leaving the network at the end of the year, is heading for Black Entertainment Television, according to a source familiar with Holmes' situation.
BET plans to build a show around Holmes, 34, the source said. Neither Holmes nor spokeswomen for BET were available for comment.
Holmes joined CNN in October 2006 and anchors the weekend edition of "CNN Newsroom" on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
At the summer convention of the National Association of Black Journalists, he joked about the "weekend ghetto" to which African American television anchors seem to be consigned, and not just at CNN. Also anchoring weekends at the network are Don Lemon and Fredricka Whitfield.
