CNN Eyes Moving Wolf Blitzer to Daytime Slot

Blitzer will turn 77 in March, but has maintained a rigorous on air schedule, taking part in Election Night coverage and anchoring overseas during crisis events. He has worked at CNN since 1990, and, along with Christiane Amanpour and Anderson Cooper, is one of a handful of personnel whose long history on the network offers a gravitas that others can be hard-pressed to match during critical news moments.
