In a statement applauding the new lineup, the executive group that replaced Licht in June boasted that the network’s revamped programming shows the channel is filled with both extremely experienced journalists and up-and-coming talent.
“One of CNN’s key differentiators is our deep roster of experienced journalists, reporters and storytellers,” CNN Worldwide leadership team of Amy Entelis, David Leavy, Virginia Moseley and Eric Sherling said. “Many joined CNN early in their careers and have grown with the network throughout the years. They are extraordinarily talented and share the same CNN sensibility: versatility, determination and an inquisitive and empathetic approach to reporting the news.
The statement added: “By expanding the range and depth of our programming lineup across multiple dayparts, we are strengthening our reporting excellence throughout the schedule, elevating our ability to tell great stories across platforms, and doubling down on CNN’s position as the most trusted name in news.”
After largely relying on a rotating slate of guest hosts after moving since-fired primetime anchor Don Lemon to mornings last year, the network settled on Phillips to host the 10 p.m. hour and Coates to finish off the evening at 11 p.m. Phillips had recently been the Sunday moderator of the political roundtable show, which will now be hosted by Raju. Coates, the network’s top legal analyst, had been one of the regular fill-in hosts of Lemon’s old slot.
