CNN's Chris Cuomo and Kate Bolduan Morning Show Is Gunning for Broadcast

Jeff Zucker's new direction kicks into high gear

It's official: Chris Cuomo's partner on the much-reported CNN morning show will be congressional correspondent Kate Bolduan (rumor has it that Erin Burnett was considered but didn't want the early-bird gig). This marks CNN's first foray since the change in leadership into what Jeff Zucker is better at than anybody else: morning television.

Though often criticized as fluffy and unserious, few newspeople work harder than the staff of a morning show. The production schedule is punishing to such a degree that it's very hard to keep a successful personality from switching to a gig that doesn't require a start at four or five in the morning.
