The team already manages to handle two hours, including the current iteration where the 10pm and 11pm hours look and feel different. And it’s pretty darn shady to cancel a show you never premiered after releasing a press release on it.
CNN appears to favour the approach of "one dedicated team per show", so a different anchor might mean a different team as well and they might want to avoid that while retaining the overall approach.
IIRC when Cuomo was first suspended pretty much in the eleventh hour, it was the whole AC360 team who did the heavy lifting by prepping a second hour of their show in a limited amount of time instead, not the Cuomo Primetime team with Anderson as host.
