CNN has tabbed Tim Carter as the next executive producer of CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta.
Carter joins the weekend program after serving as the supervising producer of The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer for the past five years. With the move to the Acosta program, he will remain to be based in Washington D.C.
“We are excited to have Tim back with the Newsroom family. With his editorial and breaking news expertise, we know he will be an amazing leader for this team,” Nima Ahmed, Editorial Vice President of CNN Newsroom, said.
Carter came to the network in 2015 and has been based in both Atlanta and Washington D.C. He previously worked as an original producer on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
He will begin his new role in September.
