The program premiered on January 18, 2009, originally with
John King
as host, and aired from 9:00
am to 1:00
pm ET (though only the 9:00
am and noon ET hours are simulcast on
CNN International
) and from 8:00
pm to 9:00
pm ET. It features news analysis and interviews with politicians, reporters, and newsmakers, as well as the "
Magic Wall
", an interactive touch screen map previously used by King to cover the
2008 presidential election
. At four hours long, it was by far the longest of the Sunday talk shows. It was created as a merger between
Reliable Sources
and
Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer
;
Reliable Sources
continued unchanged as a one-hour "segment" of
State of the Union
. On February 11, 2009, CNN announced it had hired former
Meet the Press
producer Michelle Jaconi as the executive producer of the program.
On a January 31, 2010, broadcast, John King announced that senior political correspondent
Candy Crowley
would become the new anchor of the program,
[1]
following King's move to take over
Lou Dobbs
'
former timeslot
.
[2]
In the move, the program was cut from four hours to one, and the
Reliable Sources
"show within a show" was spun off once again as its own program.
After Crowley left CNN in December 2014,
State of the Union
had a series of fill-ins until
Jake Tapper
was named permanent host in April 2015.

In January 2021, CNN announced that
Dana Bash
would join Tapper as a co-host, with the two alternating Sundays hosting.
