Diaz primarily will be covering entertainment, lifestyle, fashion and sports. She also will do red carpet coverage of events for HLN.

The Daily Share (weekdays, noon-5 p.m. ET) is hosted by Ali Nejad and Yasmin Vossoughian and aggregates social media news and lifestyle content of the day, giving viewers a digest of what people are watching, searching, playing, sharing, shopping and creating. HLN, the CNN Worldwide network reaching more than 100 million U.S. households, rebranded itself in 2014 as the first all-screens home for social news and lifestyle content. HLN rips its headlines from social media and interacts with consumers.

Diaz departed Entertainment Tonight this month after a two-year stint as weekend co-host and daily correspondent. “As both Rocsi and ET have grown and evolved over the years, she has elected to pursue hosting opportunities that are available to her at the start of next year,” a rep for the program said last September in a statement to Deadline. According to sources, the evolution involved more emphasis on news content at ET.

Diaz segued to ET after seven years with BET, where she co-anchored its flagship television show, 106 & Park and hosted the syndicated radio show 106 & Park Weekend Countdown along with her Rocsi on the Radio, heard in over 20 major national markets.

So what --Rocsi's going to run that whole division all by herself?

I say that because -- not more than 4 months ago, the entire entertainment unit of both CNN & HLN was
dissolved, and massive layoffs took place.

October 14, 2014:
CNN’s entertainment unit — which covers red carpet events and awards shows on both coasts — is being completely disbanded, insiders confirmed. A senior entertainment producer and two entertainment producers in Los Angeles were let go. Three other L.A. entertainment staffers were transferred to the news division. The producer who runs CNN Entertainment in New York City is also out. Additionally, Northeast bureau chief Darius Walker was cut Tuesday. Walker had been with CNN for 18 years, and an insider described his exit as a “gut-wrenching” loss.

They basically just decided to abandon almost all entertainment coverage, in-house anyway.
And now they're already doing an about-face on it?
Do Zucker and his minions have even a remote clue how to run that place? It's like watching a
marching band on the field just constantly crashing into each other from different directions :Doh

Good luck, Rocsi - sounds like you'll need it! :lol:

Wish she would have stayed on ET. Just wow. And right after Susan Hendricks quit. A slight downgrade, because Rocsi is no news anchor.
