CNN Newsroom (also simply known as Newsroom) is the branding used for blocks of rolling news programming carried by the U.S. cable network CNN. The program debuted on September 4, 2006, consolidating most of CNN's existing rolling news blocks (including CNN Live Today, Live From, CNN Saturday, CNN Saturday Night, CNN Sunday, and CNN Sunday Night) under a single brand.[1]
Newsroom features live and taped news reports, in addition to analysis from experts on the issues being covered, and headlines throughout each hour.
In April 2023, CNN began to replace Newsroom on weekdays with CNN News Central, with only its weekend editions remaining on the main channel. In September 2023, CNN reintroduced weekday blocks of Newsroom on its new streaming platform CNN Max. By 2024, Newsroom had returned to the domestic weekday schedule, with the program airing from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. weekdays.
CNN Newsroom features various anchors on weekdays and weekends. Since September 8, 2008, the program has employed a single-presenter format.[2]
The program shares the same name of an earlier CNN/U.S. program, debuted in 1989, that was shown commercial-free by teachers in schools.[3][4][5]
On June 18, 2012, CNN introduced Around the World presented by Suzanne Malveaux.[6] This hour-long block of news focuses on news across the globe. The show is based in CNN's World Headquarters in Atlanta. On February 25, 2013, Newsroom International was changed to Around the World, but was cancelled on February 7, 2014.
Weekend mornings, which formerly aired under the Newsroom banner before being relaunched as weekend editions of New Day in June 2013, are anchored by Victor Blackwell and Christi Paul. Fredricka Whitfield hosts the weekend daytime edition of Newsroom. The weekend afternoon/evening edition was originally hosted by Don Lemon (later Poppy Harlow and Ana Cabrera).
On August 12, 2013, CNN/U.S. rebranded the a portion of the broadcast of Newsroom as Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield. The 60-minute-long show based in New York focused on the most important legal news of the day, and aired its last episode on September 23, 2016. From August 12, 2013, to February 7, 2014, Newsroom, with its reduced airtime, aired weekday mornings for two hours anchored by Carol Costello. Wolf Blitzer anchored the a later hour of the program with Brooke Baldwin until February 2014, when the slot became the standalone program Wolf, which ran until November 9, 2018.
On February 10, 2014, an hour of CNN Newsroom was renamed At This Hour with Berman and Michaela, hosted by John Berman and Michaela Pereira.[7]
In November 2014, Poppy Harlow took over primetime anchoring duties on weekend evening editions of CNN Newsroom. The shift was covered by rotating anchors following Don Lemon's move to CNN Tonight in early 2014.
In February 2017, Carol Costello left CNN for HLN, and was succeeded by John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Ana Cabrera took over Harlow's weekend evening slot.
In May 2018, John Berman left the show to become the new co-anchor of New Day, the flagship morning program for CNN.[8]
In September 2018, Jim Sciutto became the new co-anchor in CNN Newsroom on the show with Poppy Harlow.[9][10]
In January 2021, CNN announced Pamela Brown as the host of the 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. edition on weekends.[11]
In February 2021, CNN announced a major change to its schedule. Brianna Keilar’s CNN Right Now program was cancelled and replaced by an hour of CNN Newsroom hosted by Ana Cabrera on the 1-2 p.m. slot while Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell took the place of Brooke Baldwin (who left CNN in mid-April) on the 2–4 p.m. slot of CNN Newsroom.
In August 2021, Poppy Harlow announced she would be leaving CNN temporarily to attend a one year law school program. She continued to anchor the 9–11 a.m. slot on holidays, days off, or filling in for other anchors on other CNN programs including CNN Newsroom. She returned to her regular timeslot on May 30, 2022.[12][13]
On December 15, 2022, it was confirmed that Ana Cabrera would be leaving CNN at the end of her 1 p.m. ET program on December 22; she subsequently moved to MSNBC in April 2023, hosting Ana Cabrera Reports.[14][15]
In April 2023, CNN began to replace Newsroom on weekdays with the new format CNN News Central, which is designed as a more "energetic" format with a focus on breaking news coverage, visual elements influenced by its coverage of special events, and teams of anchors present throughout the block.[16][17][18] Alisyn Camerota moved exclusively to CNN Tonight, while Victor Blackwell moved to Saturday mornings co-hosting CNN This Morning Weekend, and anchoring an hour of Newsroom.[16]
In late September 2023, CNN adopted the Newsroom title for rolling news blocks on its new streaming channel CNN Max; these editions air from 8 to 11 a.m. ET and 2 to 3 p.m. ET featuring existing weekend anchors Amara Walker, Fredericka Whitfield and Jim Acosta, along with Jim Sciutto and Rahel Solomon.[19]
In February 2024, following the cancellation of CNN This Morning, it was announced that a weekday hour of Newsroom with Jim Acosta would air at 10 a.m. ET. Wolf Blitzer also began hosting an 11 a.m. hour of Newsroom as an interim program; the timeslot was to be filled by a new show hosted by Pamela Brown once she returned from maternity leave.[20] Brown began hosting the 11 a.m. hour in September 2024; initial plans to brand the hour as The Bulletin[20] were scrapped, in favor of maintaining the Newsroom branding.[21]
Notable personalities
Programs occasionally pre-empted for special programs.
In 2010, CNN Newsroom was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for "Outstanding TV Journalism - Newsmagazine" for the episode "Gay Killings in Iraq" during the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.

Gaffes
In September 2014, CNN technology analyst Brett Larson was criticized after incorrectly referring to the imageboard website 4chan as a person, suggesting it was “a systems administrator who knew his away around and how to hack things”. He had appeared on the program to explain the leak of nude celebrity photos from several hacked iCloud accounts.[23][24]
In June 2015, a London gay pride parade included an ISIL parody flag, replacing the Arabic letters with dildos and butt plugs. Malveaux described the presence of an ISIS flag at a gay pride parade as "unnerving" before a seven-minute live cross to a CNN "terrorism expert" in London.[25][26][27]
