Struggling CNN announced a new programming lineup featuring Abby Phillip anchoring at 10 p.m. ET and Laura Coates at 11 p.m.
The previously announced King Charles, with Gayle King and Charles Barkley, will launch in the fall on Wednesdays.
Christiane Amanpour and Chris Wallace will be getting new weekend shows. Also getting new programs are Victor Blackwell, Pamela Brown and Manu Raju.
In the mornings, Kasie Hunt will anchor Early Start and Phil Mattingly will co-anchor CNN This Morning with Poppy Harlow.
The changes follow the departure of CNN CEO Chris Licht, who was hired by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav when Discovery acquired CNN parent WarnerMedia.
Going into an election year, CNN’s ratings have been challenged and the cable network is struggling with cord-cutting and in search of a digital strategy.
MSNBC and Fox News Channel have also shuffled their lineups recently.
