[edit] About the Show

American Morning features co-hosts Soledad O'Brien and Miles O'Brien (no relation) with Chad Myers with the weather, CNN financial correspondent Ali Velshi has a segment called "Minding Your Business" and CNN senior medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta does health related reports during the program.

American Morning focuses on the news more than many U.S. morning shows. While it does cover celebrities and entertainment, it does not have cooking segments or other staples of the morning show in the United States. There are more scripted segments on American Morning than on other morning shows. The program mainly focuses on news to attract viewers who prefer a more straightforward morning show, without the amount of anchor banter found on the competition. Its main competitor is Fox News Channel's Fox and Friends. [1]

American Morning is aired live every weekday morning from 6 to 9 am EST. After years of operating from a streetside studio at the Time-Life Building in New York City, the show moved north to an indoor set at the CNN studios in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle which was shared with the CNN Headline News show Showbiz Tonight. In October 2006, AM received a redesigned set, along with new music and graphics.

Originally AM aired for three hours, from 7am to 10am. After the cancellation of Daybreak, the program was expanded to four hours, 6am to 10am. However, the air time was reduced in October 2006 to 6am to 9am, after the expansion of CNN Newsroom.
