Since then, she has continued her journalism journey with CNN and now hosts a show, CNN This Morning Show with Kasie Hunt.

According to the available information, Kasie Hunt is not going anywhere and will continue hosting the self-titled CNN show.

Following the departure of Poppy Harlow, Kasie Hunt continues the rebranded CNN’s This Morning show!

Before Kasie, Poppy Harlow anchored the CNN This Morning show. However, after the show was canceled, Poppy left the CNN network.

The CNN Worldwide CEO Mark Thomson announced these new changes in a note to staffers. He clarified they will no longer produce morning programming in New York and disbanded the CNN This Morning production team.

At the time of the announcement, he said they were talking to Poppy Harlow about her new roles.

According to sources, Poppy did receive a new offer to work with the network, but she decided to part ways instead.

The NY Post stated that the offer to Poppy felt like an obvious demotion, as the position offered was a chief business correspondent and fill-in anchor. Despite that, sources claim Poppy left the network on good terms.

Following that, CNN expanded the show Early Start by an hour and renamed it CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt. Now, Kasie anchors the show in Washington, DC, which runs from 5 to 7 a.m.

Although there are online rumors of Kasie leaving CNN, they are apparently baseless, as the network and Kasie herself have not announced anything.
