Later on, as Alisyn started doing both former Lemon's hours, it was rumoured that Coates' show was abandoned due to lack of crew in DC; Coates got promoted to Chief Legal Analyst instead.
I believe it was the other way around, with Alisyn rumors to host at 10 and Laura at 11.

11pm hour by Alisyn Camerota is done in the same way her 10pm hour was done previously, and the "talking to journalists" format is no longer seen.
Very interesting observation. Clearly something else was at play, with CNN not giving space for Laura Coates but making room for Abby Philip (for now). Part of me thinks that this is a way to open the door to bring Kaitlan back to DC. I guess we'll wait to see if Laura is reoffered the spot or if we start to see less and less of her.
