CNN Keeps Late-Night Schedule, Acosta's Midnight Show Scrapped
CNN will not be changing its late-night programming lineup. The network had reportedly considered giving Jim Acosta a two-hour show in the post-midnight slot. However, these plans have been shelved, and the current schedule will remain in place. This decision comes after speculation about how CNN would fill the late-night hours.
CNN has decided to maintain its existing late-night programming schedule, foregoing a proposed show for Jim Acosta. Sources indicate that the network explored the possibility of granting Acosta a two-hour timeslot following midnight, often referred to as the "graveyard shift" in the industry. However, the network ultimately opted to keep its current lineup, leaving the late-night hours unchanged. This decision ends speculation about potential adjustments to CNN's overnight programming and the role Acosta might have played in them. The reasons behind the change of plans remain unclear, but the network has not commented on the specific details.
