Unlike New Day, the weekend show has maintained a two-anchor format throughout its entire existence.

In early 2021, Victor Blackwell left the program to co-anchor a two-hour block of CNN Newsroom with former New Day anchor Alisyn Camerota.

[2] He was replaced with Boris Sanchez, who would anchor from either Atlanta or Washington, D.C. Paul announced her exit from the program in June 2022, citing the need to spend more time with her family, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The change did not impact the program's format, with Walker and Sanchez continuing to serve as anchors.

[5] Sanchez exited the program in 2023 to anchor the new weekday show CNN News Central alongside former weekday New Day anchor Brianna Keilar and CNN Chief National Security Analyst Jim Sciutto.
