New York CNN —CNN’s Kaitlan Collins will anchor a new show at 9 pm starting in June, CNN CEO Chris Licht announced Wednesday. Since then, the 9 pm slot was hosted by a cast of CNN anchors, special interviews and town halls. Licht said Collins will leave the CNN This Morning show, which will be led by Poppy Harlow “alongside a rotation of CNN guest anchors.” Collins’ departure from the morning show is the second in a month after Don Lemon parted ways with CNN in April. CNN's Kaitlan Collins Jeremy Freeman/CNNCollins last week interviewed former President Donald Trump during CNN’s contentious and controversial town hall event. “I’m so thankful for my friend and co-anchor Poppy and will be cheering on the CNN This Morning team every day.”Collins, 31, joined CNN in 2017 as White House reporter.
