Phillips and Coates will do well in the late night spots, although it's a shame this bumps Camerota. Hunt in the early morning continues the theme of resurrecting things from the past.
Saturday morning is the biggest shocker. The schedule hasn't had this many shows since The Next List, Your Money, and Sanjay Gupta MD were cancelled over a decade ago. Amanpour and Wallace are an exceptionally strong add in my opinion.
Brown at 3pm is a wild card. Glad to see her back on air, just didn't expect it. Can't see them continuing a 3 anchor format for the DC News Central with the cut to 2 hours.
The biggest hesitation I have is the morning team. CNN desperately need name recognition at Breakfast. Harlow and Mattingly just aren't there yet. Hopefully we'll still see Solomon as a regular contributor in that block.
For the first time since December 2021 the schedule is whole. We can rest.
When was there a plan for a third News Central or a renovation of the Newsroom studio? CNN vacated the floor that housed Studio 17N as a cost cutting measure.
Edit to add the promo photos, which are pretty clean:
Are we to assume Victor Blackwell remains on CNN This Morning with Amara?
