CNN could be making another big move, according to reports.
NewsCycle Media President Jon Nicosia tweeted on Friday, “Source: Once the coming shakeup at is done, don’t expect John Berman, Alisyn Camerota, Jim Acosta, Brianna Keilar, Jake Tapper, John King, and Don Lemon to still be at the network OR have their current show assignments.”
He added that the source said, “The final ‘stay or go’ has not been finalized and more names will be added.”
Radar reported that “New Day” will be replaced by a program similar to that of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
A CNN insider told the outlet, “Chris comes from the same breeding ground as Zucker: morning television.”
The insider added, “He wants to establish a popular morning show that sets the agenda for the network each day. He doesn’t want to change anchors frequently. He wants strength and stability — and believes it all starts in the all-important morning timeslot.”
Additionally, the insider explained, “Expect to see either one main anchor, like Joe, or three like Gayle King has on CBS.”
They will reportedly “be joined by a roster of ‘friends’ who can add to the morning dialogue — beat reporters, commentators, and people in the know.”
The statement from the insider continued, “Everyone knows for a morning show to work, it’s important viewers see the same faces each morning whether they like them or not … Don’t be surprised if a serving Democrat and Republican politician are anointed as regular contributors.”
