History

In January 2023, as part of changes to CNN's programming instituted by new president Chris Licht, it was announced that the network planned to re-launch its daytime rolling news blocks with a new format. On March 1, 2023, it was announced that the programs would be titled CNN News Central, with its morning edition from New York premiering on April 3, 2023, and an afternoon edition anchored from Washington premiering on April 17, 2023.[1]

News Central features teams of anchors that are present throughout their respective block (rather than having blocks hosted by solo anchors throughout the day, as with its predecessor CNN Newsroom, and the competing dayside blocks America's Newsroom and MSNBC Reports on Fox News and MSNBC respectively). Its presentation utilizes a "visual-first" approach influenced by CNN special event coverage such as elections, including the extensive use of infographics on video walls in the studio to highlight key points and imagery related to the story being discussed.[2][3]
