CNN has announced its new morning news show team: Chris Cuomo and Kate Bolduan have been named hosts, while Michaela Pereira, KTLA Los Angeles morning show anchor, will be the news anchor. Cuomo came to CNN from ABC News in January, while Bolduan joined the network in 2007 and has been co-anchoring The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. The new morning show will be led by Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide. The former NBC head executive produced the Today show in the 1990s. The show has yet to be titled and there’s no start date at this time.

America’s Most Wanted is…no longer wanted. Lifetime, which picked up the series in 2011 after FOX canceled it, has decided to follow suit, ending the reality show after a 25- year run. Lifetime, however, is developing a pilot with the show’s star, John Walsh, that would have a similar theme.

The bloodsuckers are on their way back. HBO has set the premiere date for True Blood. The show’s 10-episode sixth season returns on Sunday, June 16 at 9p.

Prom night is the theme on ABC‘s Dancing with the Stars on Monday, April 1 at 8p as the remaining couples perform everything from the Viennese Waltz to the Paso Doble. Viewers will crown their celebrity prom king and queen by voting on Twitter. The winning couple will receive bonus judges’ points and be revealed on Dancing with the Stars: The Results Show on Tuesday, April 2 at 9p, which will feature performances by Demi Lovato and Huey Lewis & the News.

Vacations to die for  literally – are the theme of Investigation Discovery‘s new series Murder in Paradise, in which tropical oases become the backdrop for cold killings when unwitting victims head for idyllic destinations. But they learn the hard way that romantic sunsets often mask danger and death. Creepy! Murder in Paradise premieres Saturday, April 13 at 9p.

National Geographic Channel enlists big names in pop culture to tell the story of The ’80s: The Decade That Made Us. The six-part mini-series, narrated by Rob Lowe, features exclusive interviews with Jane Fonda, Steven Tyler, Naomi Campbell, DMC, and Michael J. Fox. It also includes Larry Hagman’s last in-depth interview before his death in 2012, in which he speaks about the extraordinary success of Dallas and how the show helped define the “me” culture of the 1980s. The series premieres Sunday, April 14 at 8p. It will also be broadcast globally on the National Geographic Channel throughout the spring in 171 countries and in 38 languages.

The Hollywood Radio and Television Society will present Comedy on TV: A Conversation with Lorne Michaels as part of the 2012-2013 HRTS Newsmaker Luncheon Series, on Tuesday, April 16 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA. Actor and comedian Martin Short will moderate the event.
