Reports say Piers Morgan is on the way out of his coveted CNN prime time show. It is not clear whether or not the move signals severed ties with CNN or simply a time-slot reshuffle.

Replacement rumors install Katie Couric as the new queen of prime time, but Zucker is keeping an open mind about other replacement hosts, too, sources indicated.
