Did Amara anchor with Victor before? I mean did she joined before he left? Anyway, she'll make a much better team with him than with the NY bound bland Boris.
Amara had anchored New Day Weekend with Victor before, but it was as a cover presenter before she got the job as official co-anchor.
Technically, at the time, she would have been filling in for Christi Paul.
I’m not sure why they now feel they can relocate Boris from Washington DC to New York, but they were not prepared to re-locate him to Atlanta before. The split-screen presentation just didn’t work! At least Victor’s return is the end of that - but I wouldn’t be surprised if, when either presenter is away, we end up with split-screen cover.

Hopefully they can pull it off. 60 Minutes it known for its months long or even years long investigative stories. They also do pop culture stories about famous celebrities but in a serious fashion rather than the vapid Entertainment Tonight-style interviews. Im not getting the indepth investigation vibe from the CNN programme. Having said that CNN does need its own "Panorama-esque" programme. So lets if they can create appointment television like 60 Minutes.That original version of CNN Tonight from over a decade ago, a clip of which was posted further back in the thread, seemed to also be a similar concept.
However, to the modern viewer the clip seemed like an alternate reality - Sanjay Gupta anchoring a non-medical programme, live from Atlanta, alongside Brooke Baldwin (in the days before she had a regular afternoon show) was a bit random!
That said, based on the clip, it appeared to work well.
