CNN has a month of time to fill between Larry King’s last day and the first day for his replacement, Piers Morgan. Mr. King’s final edition of “Larry King Live” will be broadcast on Thursday.
Here’s the plan after that point: the channel will show repeats of “Larry King Live” for the rest of December, and it will give Anderson Cooper an extra hour in January.
CNN has not specified when Mr. Morgan’s program, “Piers Morgan Tonight,” will start, but it is expected in mid-January.
Until then, Mr. Cooper, who usually anchors the 10 p.m. hour, will handle 9 p.m. as well, “including some special coverage from Haiti surrounding the anniversary,” a CNN spokeswoman said.
