Overview

• The weeknight program will air 9–11 p.m. PT (midnight–2 a.m. ET) and will also run on CNN International in Europe and Asia.
• The two-hour broadcast will be produced live from CNN’s studios on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, with a launch slated for mid-October and no public title yet.
• It will be the only live cable news show in the post‑midnight Eastern slot, where competitors typically air repeats.
• Michaelson, a veteran California political journalist from KTTV and KABC who created The Issue Is, says the Los Angeles base will help secure guests from politics, entertainment, technology and sports.
• The show marks CNN’s first Los Angeles–based national program since Larry King Live, with the network having previously offered the overnight role to Jim Acosta before his departure.
