CNN Chairman Chris Licht is putting his stamp on the news channel's prime-time lineup.
On Thursday, the network announced that Jake Tapper will move to the 9 p.m. ET hour starting Oct. 10 and through the midterm elections to capitalize on interest in the battle for control of Congress.
The assignment is temporary, although presumably Tapper would stay in the time slot if the hour performs well with audiences. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Licht said his immediate goal is to create stability for the audience while he considers permanent changes.
