Yesterday, CNN’s top boss Jeff Zucker brought a top Latina broadcaster up to the big leagues. Ana Cabrera will be moving to New York City where she’ll anchor eight weekly hours of weekend prime time. Cabrera will be tilling the void Poppy Harlow left when she moved to CNN’s weekday morning lineup with co-host John Berman. Cabrera’s new show is CNN Newsroom. Tune in live from New York on Saturdays from 3-6pm ET and 7-9pm ET; and Sundays from 5-8pm ET. This is a really bfd, a huge win for Latina diversity in top American newsrooms and on-air in mainstream broadcasting. Well-played, CNN. Ana Cabrera is a big TV star in the making.
