CNN Continues to Drift Away from its Founding Principles

Back on January 17th, FTVLive told you that CNN boss Chris Licht might be looking to fill a prime time spot with a comedian.

Many thought this was a joke, but guess what?

CNN announced they are adding comedian Bill Maher’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” to its lineup on Friday nights.

Maher’s show will begin on Feb. 3 and air during “CNN Tonight.”

Licht said he was “casting a wide net to help broaden the appeal of our prime time” without offending “our core audience of news junkies. I would never do anything that would hurt the brand and reputation that we’re working so hard to restore.”
