CNN said Friday that it had hired anchor Erin Burnett away from CNBC and was planning to develop a daily show for her that would start in the summer.
Ken Jautz, the executive in charge of CNN/US, said he had not determined a time slot for Burnett's show. But he wants to emphasize CNN's "substance and depth" and make its programs more clearly delineated, he said Friday.
Burnett, 34, has been one of the most prominent weekday anchors on CNBC, but she made no secret of her interest in broadening her work beyond business news.
CNBC did not specify on Friday how the channel would replace Burnett. "We wish Erin the best," a CNBC spokesman said.
