Mr. Morgan has been in talks with CNN this summer about replacing Larry King, who is ending “Larry King Live” this fall after 25 years in the 9 p.m. time slot. He has been coy about the CNN job until now, telling reporters in July that “there is nothing I can say” about it.

But on Sunday, he confirmed, “We’re been negotiating for a prime time position on CNN. Negotiations are nearly at an end.”

He added, “We hope to have an announcement soon.”
