Get ready for an exciting new addition to CNN’s lineup! Kaitlan Collins is set to make her official debut as the network’s 9 p.m. ET host on Monday with a captivating one-hour program called The Source. But this isn’t Collins’ first time in the spotlight. She has been anchoring CNN Primetime since Chris Cuomo’s departure in December 2021.
Collins, a former chief White House correspondent and co-host of CNN This Morning, was announced as the permanent host back in May. Despite the departure of Chris Licht as chairman and CEO, CNN has stayed true to their plans. A temporary leadership team is currently filling Licht’s position.
Now, let’s talk about the competition. The show’s time slot is one of the most fiercely contested in cable news, going up against heavyweights like Hannity on Fox News and The Rachel Maddow Show and Alex Wagner Tonight on MSNBC. In the most recent quarter, CNN Primetime averaged an impressive 548,000 viewers, according to Nielsen.
But what can we expect from The Source? CNN promises that Collins will bring fresh perspectives, uncover untold stories, and challenge conventional wisdom. She’s known for her no-nonsense reporting style and her commitment to holding the powerful accountable. Variety even reported that the show was announced during CNN’s Fourth of July coverage, adding to the excitement surrounding Collins’ new venture.
So mark your calendars and get ready to tune in to The Source with Kaitlan Collins. It’s sure to be a show that will keep you informed, engaged, and eager for more.
