CNN is considering a new day for “New Day.”
Executives have been mulling a move that would put Alisyn Camerota, the “New Day” co-anchor who has steered the program though the bulk of the Trump administration, to afternoons, according to a person familiar with the matter. She could be replaced in her current role by Brianna Keilar, a Washington-based afternoon anchor who has gained attention in recent months for delivering hard-nosed video essays and pushing back at Trump officials in live interviews.
Spokespersons for CNN did not respond to queries seeking comment. NBC News’ Dylan Byers previously reported the potential moves via Twitter.
If the switch is put into place, it would represent the latest shake-up at the CNN A.M. franchise, which vies regularly with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends.” CNN launched the program in 2013 with a different vision: a counterpart to traditional morning-news fare like NBC’s “Today” program, with Chris Cuomo, Kate Bolduan and Michaela Pereira serving as an affable trio. As time moved on, however, executives sought a co-host who could take on Cuomo, who has a strong on-air personality, and needed to change the tenor of the program even more noticeably as Donald Trump took over the White House.
