Michelle Jaconi, executive producer of CNN's Sunday political program State of the Union with John King, will move with King when he launches his new primetime program in mid-February.

Jaconi, who came to CNN from NBC's Meet the Press, has been tapped to executive produce King's new show, which will air at 7 p.m. in Lou Dobbs' old time slot.

The network is currently mulling replacements for King on State of the Union and has had Candy Crowley and Gloria Borger filling in recently.
