CNN CEO Chris Licht ousted amidst network's struggle to compete with Fox News.
TL;DR Summary
CNN CEO Chris Licht and several of his top allies have been fired after a tumultuous tenure marked by plummeting ratings, extensive job cuts, programming shifts that didn’t pan out, and high-profile firings of on-air personalities. Licht's leadership style apparently made nobody happy—not even Warner Bros. Discovery head David Zaslav, whose vision for the network he was trying to implement. Licht's exit comes just days after Zaslav installed his own longtime lieutenant David Leavy as the network chief operating officer.
