Report: Roberts To Leave "American Morning"

Shake-ups at CNN under new boss Ken Jautz will begin as early as the start of the new year, insiders tell Page Six at nypost.com.

John Roberts is finalizing a contract to leave "American Morning" and start a new life as a CNN national correspondent in At lanta, where his pregnant fiancée, Kyra Phillips, anchors "CNN Newsroom."

Insiders speculate that handsome newsreader T.J. Holmes, who filled in for Roberts yesterday, is one of the favorites to take over Roberts' role and anchor alongside Kiran Chetry.

"T.J. Holmes has always been groomed for a bigger gig," an insider told us. Sources also said "CNN Newsroom" anchor Tony Harris will announce to his staff today that he's leaving the network after six years.

Harris, who anchors from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., is expected to leave at the end of the month. A rep for the net work said, "CNN does not comment on con tracts."
