CNN has selected Kaitlan Collins to host a new weeknight show at 9 p.m., elevating her to one of the most coveted time slots in cable news a week after she moderated a contentious town hall with former President Donald J. Trump.

The promotion of Ms. Collins, 31, a co-host of the network’s morning show, amounts to a major bet by CNN leadership on a rising star who has impressed colleagues with her interviewing and reporting chops, but remains relatively untested as a solo anchor.

It is also Mr. Licht’s latest attempt to revive his network’s sagging ratings.

CNN was down to about a dozen viewers, so that move isn't so surprising. They'll gladly take the free publicity of the controversial Trump town hall, and anything having to do with it (including her), just to keep some attention focused on them.

It's pathetic, but they're that desperate.
