- Some of the Cable News Network's most familiar faces are
- fading from the screen. Last summer CNN owner Ted Turner hired
- former Los Angeles Times chairman Tom Johnson to shake things
- up. After leaving the network's on-air team alone during the
- gulf war, Johnson has started to do just that. Longtime anchor
- Mary Anne Loughlin was dismissed; veteran anchors Don Miller and
- Patrick Emory have not had their contracts renewed. "Johnson
- wants younger people who are not in the `Ted Baxter' mode of
- broadcasting," says a CNN source. Turner will pay his
- replacements much lower salaries and use the leftover money to
- attract established superstars like former CBS commentator Bill
- Moyers.
