Here for it
While there's a lot of chatter about the title and hosts, there are some fans. CNN has had major changes in recent months, some which have been controversial. One Twitter user welcomes King Charles with open arms.
News of fluff?
The new mashup promises to stick to hot topics all around. But one Twitter user says its credibility may lack and be more of an entertainment show instead of hard news.
Bad decision
King and Barley have been trending as an odd pairing for a primetime news show. One Twitter user says it's a disaster.
Dumb moves?
One Twitter user says the whole show title is dumb. They also aren't fans of recent moves the network has made overall.
Modify the title with punctuation
One user had a clever suggestion to keep the title: add proper punctuation. That way, it's a good play on words, but also differentiates the show from the royal family.
Royal Family News Updates?
The title is baffling for some, considering that covering the Royal Family on most news programs is an obsession. On the contrary, it shows lack of sexism with putting King's name first.
