Excuse me! But I know it's the same show however all the people have changed.

We have to create a new show, if news anchor leaves, are you serious? Because it's a news show, not a talk show.

I think we only do this with the Late Night Talk shows, but let's also hear what the rest of us say about it.

Actually CNN calls the program simply Early Start. You can see it in the opening sequence of the program and at the official page. So there's no "new" program, just the change of one of the anchors. So I'd say we lose the "with" part and that's it.

There was a period of time when Christine Romans was a single anchor of the program. So what, we should create a third series, Early Start With Christine Romans? ))

Also there's a lot of inconsistencies with this "with" name. The first episode is 2012-01-02. But it definitely cannot be called Early Start with John Berman and Christine Romans at this time, because the anchors at this time was Ashleigh Banfield and Zoraida Sambolin. And Berman first appeared only in the middle of July.

There's no specific policy here, it simply depends on whether the network itself classifies it as a new show or not. Usually when a (late night) talkshow changes hosts, the network officially announces it as a new/separate show, with a separate website, separate name, separate cast members (band, sidekicks), separate crew, etc.

If the network doesn't do any of those things, we simply keep the existing entry.

The rotation of anchors is seamless, they just come and go. Like this introduction of John Berman.

It makes a lot of sense to just call it "Early Start" only from now on no matter what or who changes. That brings me to the point of a few 100 plus shows that all have names attached to them either "with" or not. Some of those shows are advertised that way and some are NOT on TV or their websites maybe none of them should have names attached to them and make it easier for future changes?

It also may make it easier to search for these shows without names on them? Let me see was it with John Smith or with Mike Spieter or with Mary Smith and John Rogers or was it with John Rogers and Mary Smith?

There's no need to invent the bicycle or go bluntly renaming 100+ series. The programs should be called exactly like the channel names them. So each one should be checked against media representation in the official sources.
