According to a fresh story published on Wednesday by Dylan Byers of Puck, embattled CNN CEO Chris Licht will be fired.
According to Byers, "Warner Bros. Discovery will announce Licht's resignation as chairman and CEO of CNN in the next 48 hours, apparently bringing an end to one of the most difficult times in the network's 43-year existence.
For his decisions, Licht has been under pressure from both inside and beyond the organization, particularly in the wake of a critical Atlantic profile of his leadership that was released on Friday. An influential member of the media compared reading the profile to watching a "snuff flick."
Oliver Darcy, a CNN media reporter, claimed on Monday that Licht had "lost the room."
Byers said, "Amy Entelis, the renowned veteran CNN executive, talent whisperer, and CNN Films boss who worked as a devoted deputy to Licht's predecessor, Jeff Zucker, for years, will succeed Licht for a temporary term.
