Former Fox News anchor and now former CNN+ anchor Chris Wallace admitted Sunday night his professional future remains unclear.
When asked by moderator Jacqueline Adams if he had any personal revelations to share following the shutdown of CNN+ last week, the 74-year-old joked he had no breaking news to share.
“Frankly, what I’m mostly concerned about right now, and very, is my team and hundreds of other people … that had jobs at CNN+,” Wallace said.
“Some of them had left CNN to go to streaming. Some of them had left other places, moved across the country. And so I think you’re seeing a lot of the anchors at CNN+ doing everything they can to protect the people that were working on their team and to make sure they either get a safe landing at CNN or someplace else.”
Wallace announced his decision to leave Fox News for CNN+ last December on the promise of looking forward to the “new freedom.”
“I am thrilled to join CNN+. I am excited to explore the world of streaming,” he enthused.
“I look forward to the new freedom and flexibility streaming affords in interviewing major figures across the news landscape—and finding new ways to tell stories,” he added. “As I embark on this adventure, I am honored and delighted to join Jeff Zucker and his great team. I can’t wait to get started.”
The result could hardly be further from what the news veteran hoped for .
Wallace was reportedly breaking down in front of his crew over the “miserable failure” of the streaming platform before it eventually went under after barely 23 days in operation.
