The anchor transition is also notable because Bash and King were formerly married and share a son. Earlier this week, CNN fired veteran anchor Don Lemon, putting the network’s new morning show in flux. CNN is also working to rebuild a prime-time lineup after moving Lemon from his 10 p.m. slot late last year and dismissing former 9 p.m. star Chris Cuomo in late 2021.
