CNN removes Jim Acosta's morning show in programming shakeup

newsweek.com — January 25, 2025 at 12:02 AM UTC

CNN has removed Jim Acosta's 10 a.m. show from its weekday lineup, replacing it with "The Situation Room." Acosta may be moved to a less favorable midnight slot, and he is considering leaving the network. This change comes amid a broader reshuffle at CNN, which recently laid off 6% of its workforce. The network's ratings have declined, prompting a reevaluation of its programming and talent. Acosta has been a prominent critic of Donald Trump, often clashing with him during press conferences. The shift in Acosta's role reflects the changing dynamics as Trump begins his second term.
