She is slated to work on the Jeff Zucker revamped morning show staring Chris Cuomo. No word yet on what Brown's role will be, be we hear she will be working out of CNN's New York Studios."

Well Today CNN put out this press release:

Pamela Brown (pictured), George Howell and Alina Machado have joined CNN as correspondents, the network  announced today.  Brown will report primarily for CNN’s new morning program and will be based in New York.

“George and Alina are multi-talented, and their passion for getting to the crux of the story comes through in their award-winning journalism,” said Tony Maddox, executive vice president and managing director of CNN International.

Brown comes to CNN from ABC-TV affiliate WJLA-TV and NewsChannel 8, in Washington, D.C., where she most recently served as Sunday evening anchor and special projects reporter. During her six years at WJLA-TV, she has anchored breaking news and continuous coverage of several high profile events, including Hurricane Sandy, a metro train derailment and the historic blizzard of 2010. She traveled to Haiti to cover the devastating earthquake within a few days of the event, and later returned to report on the rebuilding process.
