Reliable Sources

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
The program debuted on March 7, 1992.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2">2</a> Until 2009, it was broadcast as a stand-alone program, but on January 18, 2009, Reliable Sources became a segment during CNN's new Sunday morning political program <a href="/facts/State_of_the_Union_with_John_King/xmzx9Pge">State of the Union with John King</a>, although it remained hosted by Howard Kurtz and retained its timeslot. In January 2010, after John King left the show, Reliable Sources again became its own show, moving back one hour in the process.
Reliable Sources reviews the coverage of the news stories of the past week by the media, in addition to news about the news media behind the scenes, all with a constantly changing group of <a href="/facts/Online/rhxAKfol">online</a>, <a href="/facts/Newspaper/q4waJGVL">print</a>, and <a href="/facts/Television_news/XfsX2zDC">broadcast</a> <a href="/facts/Journalist/LADe3dzs">journalists</a>. The segments also feature some one-on-one interviews with journalists taking part in a news event or covering a story, such as <a href="/facts/Bob_Woodruff/6DEeIdlw">Bob Woodruff</a> after his return to <a href="/facts/ABC_News_(United_States)/YqpUd76C">ABC News</a> in February 2007 after his severe <a href="/facts/Bob_Woodruff/6DEeIdlw">injuries in Iraq on January 29, 2006</a>.
<a href="/facts/Bernard_Kalb/mqxRGlyc">Bernard Kalb</a> was the first host from 1992 to 1998.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a>
<a href="/facts/Howard_Kurtz/6DIEmTvD">Howard Kurtz</a> hosted the program for fifteen years starting in 1998 before leaving CNN to join <a href="/facts/Fox_News/jyP1hm2q">Fox News</a> on July 1, 2013, where he became the host of <a href="/facts/Media_Buzz/AhNAdrxB">Media Buzz</a>, which aired opposite Reliable Sources on Sunday mornings and served as its direct competition from 2013 until Reliable Sources was cancelled in 2022. After Kurtz's departure, Reliable Sources used a rotating roster of guest hosts until December 8, 2013, when former <a href="/facts/The_New_York_Times/T9marWVX">New York Times</a> reporter <a href="/facts/Brian_Stelter/8mwt5xaD">Brian Stelter</a> became the program's permanent host.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a>
From its debut until 2014, Reliable Sources was based at CNN's bureau in <a href="/facts/Washington,_D.C./enXPK156">Washington, D.C.</a> The program moved to the network's studios at <a href="/facts/Time_Warner_Center/CPrBnFqR">Time Warner Center</a> in <a href="/facts/New_York_City/YlyvFmVC">New York City</a> on September 21, 2014, where it remained until its cancellation in August 2022.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a>
