CNN has made sweeping changes to its line-up in an effort to boost its ratings - following the departure of its CEO Chris Licht.
Veteran journalists Chris Wallace and Christiane Amanpour will be the new faces during weekend shows in the reshuffle at the network.
Abby Phillip will take the 10pm weekday slot, while Laura Coates will take the hour later, at 11pm. Kaitlan Collins will continue to anchor her 9pm show.
Collins was previously sat with Poppy Harlow and Don Lemon on the morning show, before Lemon was sacked from the company in April.
CNN This Morning is now run by chief White House correspondent Phil Mattingly and Harlow. Kasie Hunt anchors 'Early Start.'
Pamela Brown, chief investigative correspondent is set to anchor a new day show out of the nation’s capital, while Manu Raju takes over 'Inside Politics' on Sunday.
Chris Wallace will host a panel show on the weekends, on top of his weekly program.
And Alisyn Camerota is set to take on long-form reporting for the Sunday show 'The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper.'
CNN's leadership team, including Amy Entelis, David Leavy, Virginia Moseley and Eric Sherling said: 'By expanding the range and depth of our programming lineup across multiple dayparts, we are strengthening our reporting excellence throughout the schedule, elevating our ability to tell great stories across platforms, and doubling down on CNN’s position as the most trusted name in news.'
This comes just two months after a desperate and 'devastated' Chris Licht tried to cling on to his position as CEO of CNN before he was ousted.

Isn’t that where they started. Now demoted BACK to poorly watched weekend shows. Make work.
LOL, I know. Chris Wallace… seriously??
Christiane Amanpour gets her own weekend show. I’d rather watch fly larvae wiggling around in crap.
“I can remember way before he ran for POTUS, Trump telling Wulf Blister on CNN “just be glad only 20,000 people are watching you make a fool of yourself”.”
One of the many reaasons I love Trump. Great reply to Wolf; totally decimated him and CNN.
Is Caitlin Collins a GUY? She has NO FEMINITY at all.
CNN = No Truth Zone
