Rick Sanchez, who currently hosts the network's 3pmET hour of "CNN Newsroom," will be getting a new show, titled "Rick's List" in 2010.
Sanchez's program will now air for two hours, from 3-5pmET, and Wolf Blitzer's "Situation Room" will eventually be reduced from three hours to two, airing from 5-7pmET. Blitzer will also fill-in the 7-8pmET slot until John King's show launches early next year.
CNN tells us that Sanchez and Blitzer, appropriately, made the initial announcement themselves over twitter in order to get it out to their followers first (both have well over 100,000).
Today, Sanchez tweeted:
Hey guys, new CNN show beginning Jan 18th, weekdays 3-5pm ET. "Rick's List"- Who will make the list? and
Every day "Rick's List" will be full of newsmakers and thinkers we- and u- think are relevant to CNN. My access = your access. Simultaneously, Blitzer tweeted:
New SitRoom start time. Beg. mid-Jan, we're on 5-7p ET. Our excellent team can focus on 2 solid hrs. Less becomes more. Politico's Michael Calderone, who reported the news this morning, adds, "CNN president Jon Klein, on the morning editorial call, told staffers that both Wolf Blitzer and Sanchez are pleased with the decision"
The name was derived from a segment on Sanchez's current show.
Interestingly, it was just a week ago, that MSNBC announced it was moving Dylan Ratigan to its 4pmET slot.
Drink and PM Drive.
Deck chairs. Titanic.
LOL! CNN is really getting desperate.
Rick’s List Of People He Has Killed While Driving Drunk.
LOL...Maybe it should be called “Rick’s Slander List”
Re-arranging the deck chairs isn’t going to help their rating.
Our excellent team can focus on 2 solid hrs. Less becomes more.
Yeah right! The LESS of them I see the MORE better I feel!
Guess we don’t have as big of a ‘Situation’ as we use to.
Hit and Run would have been my first choice for a title.
CNN knows the next move is “imigration reform”. Is the official number still twelve million?
The numbers to pay these guys their inflated salaries simply isn’t there. They have to be fairly desperate to try this trick....because there just isn’t anything else left in the book.
another good title, though kinda long: Proof that journalism is dead starring Rick Asshat.
No matter how many times you shuffle the deck, it’s still the same cards.
1) It's all the same people.
2) You could fit them all in the Rose Bowl.
“Sanchez’s program will now air for two hours, from 3-5pmET,”
So this is who will replace Lou Dobbs....with an extra hour, no less. NO more anti amnesty talk from Sanchez! And just in time to push CIR/ASAP...the new AMNESTY plan introduced in the house last week.

Wow, CNN, your true colors are showing and they are NOT red, white and blue.
“CNN knows the next move is “imigration reform”. Is the official number still twelve million?”
Precisely!

“Rick’s List?” I guess CNN is trying to compete with Countdown...
CNN lurches further left, and further into amateur hour.
