variety.comBrian Steinberg Senior TV Editor CNN may have cleared its schedule of “Reliable Sources,” but it is making lots of room for “The Source.” The new program, which will be based in New York and is slated to debut Monday, July 10, at 9 p.m.
eastern, is a new hour built around up-and-coming anchor Kaitlan Collins, who has, in the space of just a few years, vaulted from White House correspondent to morning co-anchor to primetime personality.
Collins has been leading CNN’s 9 p.m. hour over the past few weeks, but under a catch-all rubric of “CNN Primetime,” which also encompassed town-hall specials and deep-dive interviews with newsmakers led by others.
CNN announced the new program Tuesday night during its Fourth of July coverage and musical celebration, which typically attract a broader audience than its usual weekday schedule.
