According to this article from The Wrap, rotating anchors will be filling-in from time to time during the transition and when Kaitlan leaves the show:
As for Collins’ current obligations at the network, she will be transitioned off of “CNN This Morning,” which will see Collins’ co-host, Poppy Harlow, joined by a rotation of CNN guest anchors. More information will be shared in the months ahead.
You can’t really call it a rip-off if they are both coming from the same source. It appears they have reused some of the design cues from CNN+ for their new graphics set.
Yeah gotta say I’m not a fan at all, but at least the compressed headline appears to be gone
The rounded edges all look very dated and the three tiered location bug is too big and layered
It just looks like a shit mock
New supers are on air on CNN
Looks like a mock tbh.
CNN logo is in a box with a single rounded corner, a bit like the Nine News logo?
Any caps?

Really not a fan tbh - the drop shadow behind the CNN logo is a nice touch though.
Horrible. Such a downgrade.
It’s not bad. Very clean. But nothing compares to their graphics in 2006.
Honestly, maybe a thicker version of CNN Sans would be better? Right now everything just feels a little random, especially the font sizes and choices. Also not really sure about the black box with the program title.
Love the drop shadow on the CNN logo and flashing live bug though.
I can see what they’re going for - declutter the screen and emphasise the news. It’s all to do with getting a clear break from the CNN of 2016-2022 which was very heavy on opinion and personality.
The 2010-2014 supers were the best. Should’ve stuck with them longer
The launch of the new supers has a very big coincidence: CNN is 43 today. They even launched a new campaign (internally named CNN Uncut) showcasing some archival moments on the history of the network with never-before-seen behind the scenes material. Some examples can be found on CNN’s internal marketing website.
Chris Licht did justify the changes and the new campaign to staff in an internal memo which has been resourced by many industry outlets, including NewscastStudio.
"Forty-three years ago today, Ted Turner launched the world’s first 24-hour cable news network and shared his vision for this organization: “to act upon one’s convictions while others wait, to create a positive force in a world where cynics abound, and to provide information to people when it wasn’t available before…” His words serve as a north star for all of us. I see them as both an invitation and a challenge – to stay narrowly focused on the truth, to hold those in power to account, and to tell the stories that matter to our audiences around the world.
"It’s fitting that this morning marks the release of an all-new on-air graphics package that showcases our strength as a video news organization. It’s a clean and modern presentation that provides much greater flexibility in how we communicate information and urgency to our viewers around the world. It’s the first major refresh in a decade and it will make the news the star of any screen.
“Also starting today, we will be rolling out a new campaign, a raw and unedited display of iconic moments that capture the spirit, courage and integrity of our journalists and the power of the work we do at CNN every day. Our people are our greatest source of pride and this campaign puts our teams front and center”.
Here’s the full memo, as well as NewscastStudio’s review of the new look:
At the moment, the CNN country-specific networks and CNN en Español are unaffected, and still with the old look. However, in the case of the latter, that could change, as CÑÑ is moving most news gathering operations and production offices to Mexico City. The bureau is also in the process of getting new and improved studios (the same case of what happened to Abu Dhabi recently).
More programs will also air out of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where a large swath of production is already being handled from there (CNN has ramped up its Argentina bureau since 2018, after working on new Argentina-specific productions and launching a radio station). The Miami studio will still also be in operation, but non-core jobs will move to these cities and/or will be eliminated entirely.
Variety is reporting CNN is wanting to build up its presence in these countries, where WBD has already a big presence (the legacy Turner entertainment networks are still based in the Buenos Aires district of San Telmo, where some WBD delegations formerly based in São Paulo are moving; whilst Warner Bros. regional offices are based in Mexico, where WBD is ramping up hiring for its business teams and HBO Max). Some jobs are also moving to the LA bureau.
Another big change: Chris Licht is trying to reduce the emphasis on the CÑÑ linear channel (including axing some shows and maybe closing down the US feed, which has a distribution limited to some big Hispanic cities in the country) and increasingly working to ramp up the digital verticals, leading to more personnel cuts.
For context, CÑÑ’s schedule is now majority produced between these three cities (where they do tend to use flash cam sets) and the DC bureau (where they use the former Inside Politics studio overlooking the Capitol). The only show currently produced out of CNN Center is Mirador Mundial, their weekend news program, as well as some feature programming (the Atlanta newsroom was also recently vacated, with its shows now airing from the former HLN studio.
Additionally, in recent years, CÑÑ (like CNNI) has been an afterthought for CNN executives, especially under the Zucker era. They do still have a strong lineup of news shows, but its digital output and long-form content has failed to attract a younger audience, and its schedule is often full of dubbed CNN Original Series and repeats (especially on weekends).
Hideous
He will start his new role on June 20 and will be based in Washington, D.C.
I presume you mean CNN International’s graphics at that point (which CNN US never got) - definitely agree on that one, it was ahead of its time.
I actually don’t mind this look, and given what’s been mentioned about WBD trying to refocus CNN in certain ways - the last thing they’ll be bothered about is that their graphics are “unadventurous” and more geared to an international look - to be charitable. Domestic audiences won’t be drawn to it though, for sure, and it clashes with what their US shows look like atm.
But it seems roughly executed; they can’t even get the CNN blob and the strap to line up completely at the moment (see where the bottom edges touch) and it’s bothering me a lot.
Are we not getting the ticker along the bottom on CNN International during US shows. It feels like a bit of the gfx package is missing.
overall, the new graphics are growing on me. they do achieve the idea of being more ‘elegant’.
