CNN today announced that Inside Politics, anchored by chief national correspondent John King, is scheduled to premiere Sunday, Feb. 2 at 8:30 a.m., ET. The 30-minute weekend program will feature a rotating group of America's top political reporters who will provide an insider's look into the key stories of the week.

"As we look ahead to the 2014 and 2016 campaigns, John is the ideal reporter to dissect the important political stories as Americans begin to think about their next president," said Sam Feist, CNN senior Vice president and Washington bureau chief. "John and his panel's observations will give viewers a candid peek behind the week's political headlines."

"I'm honored to be part of bringing Inside Politics back to CNN, with a focus on ahead-of-the-curve political reporting," said King. "It's a fascinating time in American politics, in Washington and across the country, and we have a remarkable group of journalists committed to sharing their reporting and their insights each week."
