Reports: Tony Harris out at CNN; John Roberts might be coming to Atlanta

CNN mid-day host Tony Harris is leaving CNN after six years, according to the New York Post and TVNewser.
Harris, 43, worked at WGCL before coming to CNN. The story did not say where he was going next. A CNN spokeswoman confirmed he is leaving.
Also, the New York Post said "American Morning" co-host John Roberts may be leaving New York and coming to Atlanta to be a correspondent. Talks are on-going, TVNewser said. (CNN said that's accurate.) Roberts is engaged to Atlanta host Kyra Phillips. They are expecting twins next year.
CNN recently brought in a new president Ken Jautz. This could be his first major move since he took over the network, which has seen its ratings slide the past year far more than its rivals.
