CNN is prepping to relaunch its “Anderson Cooper Full Circle” digital show today, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019.

• The show launched in 2018 exclusively on Facebook Watch.
• However, earlier this year, CNN announced it would replace “Full Circle” with “Go There.”
• Anderson Cooper’s “Full Circle” was reportedly performing well — with CNN saying it attracted about 2 million viewers an episode.
• However, CNN execs also reportedly wanted to be able to capitalize on that audience better and keep more of the revenue for itself, rather than sharing with Facebook.
• So, the network announced “Full Circle” would take a hiatus and return in the fall.
• The show will air live at 5 p.m. eastern on CNN’s website, apps and streaming platforms and be ad supported.
• Cooper will also continue to host “Anderson Cooper 360” on the network’s linear channel.
• The new version of the show will focus on a single topic and run 10 to 15 minutes, according to CNN.
