Chris Licht will be the new president of CNN
In a new CBS News Streaming special, the ‘CBS Mornings’ anchor reflects on the story and its impact 10 years later.. The appointment of a leader with a similar approach as Zucker and a familiarity with the operation — Licht’s wife, Jenny, has worked as a producer at CNN — is likely to be welcomed.
“He’s going to find it’s a tough nut to crack,” said one CNN insider who was not authorized to comment publicly. “This is not like turning around ‘Colbert’ where it was around one show with a single talent.”Licht also likely got the seal of approval from Oprah Winfrey, who is in business with Zaslav through OWN, which is part of the Discovery family of channels. Licht hired Winfrey’s close pal King for “CBS This Morning.
The challenges he faces upon arrival will be daunting. CNN’s share of the cable news audience has contracted dramatically in the past year. While all cable news viewing has declined since Donald Trump exited the White House in January 2021, CNN has dropped the most. The approach created more appointment viewing for CNN, which often saw its audience evaporate when the news flow ebbed. But Trump and his acolytes at Fox News portrayed CNN as having a left-wing slant, a sentiment recently echoed by Discovery Inc. board member John Malone.
