CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and Abby Phillip Seen as an ‘Irreparable Failure’

The President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, attempted to restore the network’s reputation as a “dispassionate, middle-of-the-road news service” by reportedly cutting staff and “clearing the plate” of a few righteous anti-Trump figures along the way, which supposedly backfired under Chris Licht’s leadership.

Realizing the network was facing more existential challenges amid cable’s noticeable decline, Zazlav entrusted the very experienced chairman and C.E.O Mark Thompson to transform the network’s business model in the direction of digital and streaming, all while preserving the semi-centrist posture with a more delicate touch.

According to the insider, from June 5 to June 30, Collins averaged 702,000 total viewers and 152,000 viewers in the targeted demographic.

The network averaged 481,000 viewers with a rotating cast of anchors at 9 p.m. during the first quarter of 2023.
