(Excuse typos. On my phone!) Chris Licht is out at CNN after only a year as CEO. From Fox News:
“I have great respect for Chris, personally and professionally,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said in a statement. “The job of leading CNN was never going to be easy, especially at a time of huge disruption and transformation, and he has poured his heart and soul into it,” Zaslav continued. “While we know we have work to do as we look to identify a new leader, we have absolute confidence in the team we have in place and will continue to fight for CNN and its world class journalism.”
Licht came in after Jeff Zucker left over an undisclosed relationship with a coworker.
Licht wanted to clean up CNN’s leftist image. He fired John Harwood, Brian Stelter, and Don Lemon. He tried to revamp the morning show, too.
Something tells me the new CEO will be more like Zucker.
