- CNN CEO Chris Licht talked to CNBC about why he took the job, why he thinks some coverage of him has been “painfully inaccurate,” and how he’s hoping to restore a brand he says has been tarnished.
- Licht is in the process of “right-sizing” CNN, part of a broader effort to eliminate more than 1,000 jobs at parent company Warner Bros. Discovery before the end of the year, sources said.
- Licht finished a broad, six-month business review last week, sources said.
- Licht and his staff are aware of the nervousness among an employee base that’s been through several traumatic events in the past 18 months.
