With CNN’s announcement of “CNN This Morning” co-anchor Kaitlan Collins moving to 9 p.m., it appears the network will be implementing yet another rebrand for the timeslot. CNN confirmed to NewscastStudio that the “CNN Primetime” name used since February 2023 will remain until Collins moves to the timeslot in June 2023. CNN did not announce the new name of Collins’ show during its upfront presentation where her move to evenings was officially announced. Some possibilities include “Kaitlan Collins Primetime” or “Collins Primetime” if CNN wants to stick with the “primetime” theme, similar to “Cuomo Prime Time” that aired until December 2021 when the network fired anchor Chris Cuomo and canceled his show. AdvertisementAnother possibility is “Kaitlan Collins Tonight” or “Collins Tonight,” which would be in line with the “CNN Tonight” banner the network uses later in the evening and as a fill-in between the cancellation of Cuomo’s show and launch of “CNN Primetime.”There are potential issues with both of these options, however.
