CNN today announced changes to its weekday programming lineup. Starting Monday, February 10, 2014, John Berman and Michaela Pereira will co-anchor CNN's 11 a.m. (ET) hour of dayside programming. Berman and Pereira will continue to anchor "Early Start" and "New Day," respectively. Pereira joined the network last year with the launch of "New Day," while Berman joined in 2012, and has covered several national news stories including the Boston Marathon Bombing and the deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma.
"Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield," which examines national news through a legal lens, will move from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. (ET) for the hour.
CNN's award-winning lead political anchor Wolf Blitzer will continue to anchor the 1 p.m. (ET) hour, "Wolf," with a focus on politics, breaking news and international news.

Bush and Barack Obama, and as well as their travels across Europe, Africa, The Balkans, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Australia and
The Middle East. Malveaux's return to Washington, D.C., allows her to better care for her mother, who suffers from ALS. Malveaux chronicled her mother's battle against the disease in a series of
CNN reports last year ('My Mother's Journey with ALS').
