CNN chief executive Chris Licht to leave network after weeks of criticism
"Embattled CNN chief executive Chris Licht is out at the cable network, capping weeks of tumult within the company following a highly criticized town hall with Donald Trump and a scathing article that portrayed Licht as all but failing at his job of barely a year.
Staffers were notified on Wednesday morning by David Zaslav, chief executive of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, shortly before CNN anchor Kate Bolduan announced the news on air.
“I have great respect for Chris, personally and professionally,” Zaslav said later 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.”
Licht replaced chief executive Jeff Zucker, who was forced to resign in early 2022 after failing to disclose to the company a romantic relationship with a fellow executive."
