CNN on Monday announced a sweeping new lineup, elevating a new generation of rising stars to key time slots as it seeks to improve lackluster ratings and reboot its programming ahead of the 2024 presidential election. In the morning hours, CNN named Phil Mattingly, who currently serves as its chief White House correspondent, as the co-anchor of “CNN This Morning” alongside Poppy Harlow. CNN also announced that it will reimagine its weekend lineup in a significant bid to win viewers on Saturday mornings. The network said Victor Blackwell, co-host of the weekend edition of “CNN This Morning,” will anchor an additional program Saturday at 8 a.m. ET with a politics-focused show; and Christiane Amanpour, chief international anchor, will debut a new program at 11 a.m ET.
