Kasie Hunt Aims to Scramble CNN’s Morning With 6 A.M. Hour That Isn’t Politics-Only


Kasie Hunt hopes to shake up CNN's morning programming with a 6 a.m. hour of CNN This Morning that moves well beyond political news

CNN more recently tried to mount a morning program with a broader focus led by Poppy Harlow, Kaitlan Collins and Don Lemon that failed to generate the anchor chemistry that is so critical to the format. Hunt stands ready to offer the latest nuances in the 2024 White House race or new information from Ukraine, but could also delve into stories tied to Taylor Swift or the advisability of swimming in France’s River Seine. CNN executives have long coveted the viewers who tune into “Morning Joe,” which attracts White House regulars and political aficionados, but occasionally turns to outside-the-Beltway topics.
