Michael Smerconish is joining CNN to host his own Saturday morning program from New York.

Smerconish has been a contributor to MSNBC and guest host for Hardball. He also hosts a SiriusXM Radio show, The Michael Smerconish Program, writes a column for the Philadelphia Inquirer—both of which will continue—and is working on his sixth book.
