Rick's List is a news and commentary program on CNN hosted by Rick Sanchez. The show aired weekdays from 3 to 5 PM EST.[1] It first aired on Monday, January 18, 2010, when Sanchez's one-hour CNN Newsroom shift was lengthened to two hours and given its own title, and The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer was moved one hour later. Its last broadcast was on Friday, October 1, 2010 when CNN fired Sanchez over controversial comments made on a radio show.[2]
