D.L. Hughley, who will host CNN’s new late-night program “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News,” talked with Broadcasting & Cable about the new gig that starts Oct. 25 on the news network. “Breaks the News” will be filmed in front of a studio audience at CNN’s New York headquarters and will also feature taped segments and newsmaker interviews. Next week the comic will visit North Carolina to tape a segment with an undisclosed “political person.”
