On the Camerota point, there’s a difference between Cuomo who moved to bang in the middle of primetime and Camerota who presumably will be in one of the afternoon slots vacated by Baldwin or Keilar which isn’t one of the main slots.

However, give me Camerota anchoring over Chris Cuomo’s egotistical presenting any day. I wonder if Chris had his brother on recently to ask him tough questions about the nursing home controversy or is he only allowed on for the Cuomo comedy hour where they bring out giant comedy earbuds and bicker over which one mom likes more.

Getting rid of Baldwin who is very popular with viewers as well as staffers was IMO the wrong move.

Something MUST have happened. I do not get the impression she really wants to leave but rather was let go.

Today, CNN announced changes to its weekday morning and dayside lineup, with new assignments for Victor Blackwell, Ana Cabrera, Alisyn Camerota and Brianna Keilar. In addition, the network announced new roles for Jim Acosta and Boris Sanchez on weekends. These changes will be effective in April.



Laura Jarrett and Christine Romans will continue to anchor Early Start from 5-6 am.



John Berman and Brianna Keilar will anchor New Day from 6-9 am, weekdays. Keilar most recently anchored CNN Right Now from 1-3pm weekdays. Prior to that, she was CNN’s White House correspondent during the Obama Administration. Berman has been co-anchor of New Day for the last two and a half years.



Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto will continue to anchor CNN Newsroom from 9-11 am.



Kate Bolduan will continue to anchor At this Hour from 11am-noon.



John King will continue to anchor Inside Politics with John King weekdays from noon-1pm. The network’s chief national correspondent, he will also continue to have a key role in all political coverage.



Ana Cabrera, who has anchored CNN’s weekend newscasts for the last four years, will now anchor CNN Newsroom weekdays from 1-2 pm.



Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell will now anchor CNN’s afternoon Newsroom coverage from 2-4 pm. Camerota has anchored CNN’s morning program, New Day, for the last six years, the longest tenure of any weekday morning show anchor in recent CNN history, and, along with Berman, has led CNN to its largest audiences ever in the morning. Blackwell has anchored CNN’s Weekend New Day for the last nine years.



With the move of Cabrera and Blackwell to CNN’s weekday lineup, CNN also finalized its new weekend lineup:

Boris Sanchez will join Christi Paul as co-anchor of Weekend New Day on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Sanchez previously served as a CNN White House correspondent.



Fredricka Whitfield will continue to anchor CNN Newsroom’s midday coverage on Saturdays and Sundays.



Jim Acosta will anchor CNN Newsroom on Saturdays and Sundays from 3-6pm. As previously announced, Acosta has also been named the network’s chief domestic correspondent. Prior to this new role, he covered the White House for CNN for the past seven years, having served as Chief White House Correspondent since 2018.



As previously announced, Pamela Brown now anchors CNN Newsroom on Saturdays and Sundays from 6-9pm. She also serves as Senior Washington correspondent for CNN.

headliner101's comment that the move of Camerota is a demotion is completely wrong. Cuomo went from New Day straight to Prime Time and is now the most watched show on the network. I wouldn't read anything into her being demoted. If anything - Zucker sees New Day as a springboard to better things.

Now that article gives the story some context. I hadn't realised CNN hadn't allowed Chris to interview Andrew before 2020. I guess they've made a rod for their own back now by having him on several times last year and now saying they've reverted back to the rules.
