Last September, Early Start co-host John Berman cursed the extra pre-dawn hour when CNN added an extra early hour (4:00 a.m. ET) to his program with Zoraida Sambolin: Subsequently, CNN shortened the show to begin at the more godly hour of 5:00 a.m. ET. Now that CNN has had an upsurge in ratings due to its all-consuming coverage of the star-crossed plight of the passengers of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, CNN has added the 4 a.m. back to ES this week. Perhaps, not too surprisingly, the salty JB is CNN’s happy warrior as he sits with his new co-host Christine Romans.
Will CNN continue to be the early bird? If so, could it ever “steal” FNC’s worm?

John Berman could be the secret weapon CNN have been looking for.He`s smart, witty and seemingly impartial.He subs for Anderson sometimes and seems to be a natural fit for primetime.
