This article is about the former US TV news
show. For the BBC4 show with Marcus Brigstocke, see
The Late
Edition.
Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer was a
Sunday talk show hosted by Wolf Blitzer on CNN and broadcast around the world by
CNN
International. The show's slogan was The last word in
Sunday talk and comments made on the show were often featured
in the following Monday's news headlines.
The show, launched on October 3 1993, was moderated by Frank Sesno until 1998,
and by Wolf
Blitzer from January 18, 1998 to 2009.[1]
The program aired at 11:00 AM ET and thus was the last of the
Sunday talk shows to air in most East Coast markets, hence the name
"Late Edition." (however, it was the first to air in the West
Coast, at 8:00 AM PT, since its other broadcast network competitors
(including Fox News Sunday) aired on same-day tape delay on the
West Coast at various times).
On December 8, 2008, CNN announced that the show would end the
following month to make way for a new 4 hour news block hosted by
John King. [2] The
final "Late Edition" with Wolf Blitzer aired on January 11, 2009.
The new newsblock, called State of the Union with
John King, began airing on January 18, 2009.[3]
