Maybe they could do different things at CNN, such as trying to start a streaming service?

Oh, yes, they’ve been there, done that, and crashed and burned.

Maybe there are other things CNN can do, to revamp their network.

I guess they didn’t want him to move the network to the middle and focus on truth over propaganda.

a four-person leadership team to lead the network

If you want nothing done, form a committee. Three out of the four libs would have to agree to something before the idea moves along. Good luck!

I thought the new network would have been with Licht for the long haul.
Maybe it’s as another poster here just stated, that big blow out interview with Donald Trump just changed everything, even though their ratings shot through the roof.

Wow, the only guy that was willing to give conservatives a small insignificant voice at CNN. Too bad it would’ve raised their ratings. Oh, well, who cares they can go straight to hades as much as I care.

That was quick! CNN is now the Bud Light of cable news networks. CNN used to rule cable news. There used to be two CNNs. One was CNN headline news (iirc) and then regular CNN.

CNN used to be on in all the airports by contracts.
The Murdoch family will sell Fox New after the 2024 election. Old man Murdoch will be gone soon, and all his children want to be able to cash out for the multi-billion dollar inheritances. All in tax free trusts by now, probably.

One thing for sure, he’ll be replaced by someone who won’t make any real difference, meet the new boss same as the old boss.

If this guy has only been there a year, he certainly is not the problem. They have been in the toilet for far longer than that.

CNN tried to right the boat by hiring someone more interested in the news that left wing propaganda. Giving the real news to Employees who are left wing nuts to give to viewers, all of whom are left, are left wing nuts.

Formula didn’t work. CNN now has only Left wing nuts, and will be unable to attract viewers who are interested in a ‘trusted news source’ because they destroyed that years ago. They should have fired the complaining ‘talking heads’ and gone full on with an attempt to restore CNN to a trusted news site. I guess they have given up on the Transition.

Semi-related story from a WBD stock perspective.

Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) stock has fallen 24% in the past three months. The move has tarnished the reputation of CEO David Zaslav, who was once considered the media industry’s best chief executive officer. His attempt to improve the performance of the debt-burdened company has been undercut by problems at CNN and worry that the new streaming service Max has too much competition to be successful.

While the worries about Max are about its future, the CNN problem is in the present. It posted deteriorating ratings and a drop in profitability to $750 million last year, compared to a string of years in which it made over $1 billion. CNN CEO’s efforts to improve the network have been criticized as digging a hole compared to rivals MSNBC and Fox News.
