CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt

Early Start is a morning television show on CNN anchored by John Berman and Zoraida Sambolin. It premiered on January 2, 2012 and airs weekdays from 4:00-6:00 a.m. ET. The program originally aired only on weekday mornings for its first two months; a one-hour weekend edition of the program debuted on March 10, 2012, hosted by Randi Kaye, but the weekend edition is now replaced by New Day Weekend. Along with Starting Point, Early Start replaced American Morning, which aired from 2001 to 2011. Ashleigh Banfield who co-anchored with Sambolin until July 13, 2012 has since moved to the 11am hour of CNN Newsroom.
