CNN plans to move longtime anchor Wolf Blitzer to a new morning slot in an effort to reverse declining ratings at the network.
Blitzer, currently the host of “The Situation Room” at the 6:00 p.m. hour, will host a morning show alongside Pamela Brown for two hours each day, according to a Thursday report from newsletter Status.
Blitzer, 76, recently signed a new contract with CNN, per the New York Post.

He would be on the channel for an extra hour every day under the new changes.
Sources told Status that Jim Acosta, who served as the White House correspondent for CNN during the first Trump administration, could lose his 10:00 a.m. morning show in the transition.
Status is written by former CNN journalist Oliver Darcy.
Kasie Hunt, the host of “CNN This Morning” from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, could meanwhile have her slot shifted to the 4:00 p.m. window in the afternoons.
Jake Tapper, who hosts “The Lead” at 4:00 p.m., may be pivoted closer to the prime-time hours, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
In order to make time for the extra hour taken by Blitzer and Brown, the network must reduce programming elsewhere.
