The CNN anchor's new syndicated talk show will be aired locally on KTTV, along with WPIX in NY, WFLD in Chicago and WFXT in Boston. The show doesn't debut until next fall, but having the major markets in hand should make it easier to cut deals elsewhere in the U.S. Don't forget, the fall of 2011 is when Oprah hangs 'em up. Cooper recently signed a new contract with CNN that will allow him to do the daytime show. (The Wrap)
