Starting Point marks the return of former American Morning anchor, Soledad O'Brien. American Morning was created in the months following the September 11th attacks and was based in New York City. O'Brien left the morning anchor job to work on CNN documentaries and special programming in 2007.
Her 2009 project, Latino in America, was a wide-ranging look at Latinos living in this country. Earlier that year, O’Brien reported for Black in America 2, a four-hour documentary focusing on successful community leaders who are improving the lives of African-Americans. O’Brien’s original Black in America in 2008 was a revealing look at the state of Black America 40 years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
She will debut on Starting Point live from Des Moines, Iowa on January 3, 2012.
The shows will be up against cable favorites Fox News' Fox and Friends, and MSNBC's Morning Joe, and the major network morning shows such as NBC's Today.
You can follow the new shows on Twitter and Facebook.

Soledad, You bring an exciting freshness to your interviews. You dig right in, great job with Ron Paul and John McCain this week. I'll be watching Starting Point in the morning now. Good Luck
I like the way she interviewed people, reminded me of Mr Roland Martin.
Soladad, your interview of Joel Pollack showed how ill equiped your are as a an interviewer and just another member of the elite media ready, willing and able to carry the water for Barak.
I think that Soledad is absolutely wonderful as a correspondent and as host of CNN Specials. However, her new show, "Starting Point" is terrible. She is clearly shows bias (leave that to the pundits) and she obviously cuts off anyone who disagrees with her. Admittedly, I usually agree with her, but this is not the expected CNN standard. Bring back Ali Velshi and Chritine Romans.
