CNN Ceo Chris Licht has been ousted from his position after a tumultuous year leading the network and a damning magazine profile. Licht had a mandate to make CNN more palatable to both sides of the country’s political divide but lost the confidence of the network’s journalists. CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery appointed a four-person interim leadership team and will conduct a thorough search for Licht’s replacement. The network's prime-time viewership of 494,000 in May was down 16% from April and was less than half of its closest news rival, MSNBC.
