The relaunch of CNN's Headline News (6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT, CNN Headline News) aims to breathe some cool into Cable News Network's version of "Short Attention Span Theater." Producers promise a new set, new faces and more info bits crammed onto the screen. Oh, and former "NYPD Blue" actress Andrea Thompson makes her debut as prime-time co-anchor.
