Discovery CEO David Zaslav jumped on the 9AM editorial call to confirm to the CNN staff that Chris Licht had been ousted from the network.

Licht made it just over a year and after promising to change CNN, he basically just shuffled some hosts around and sacked Don Lemon and Brian Stelter.

Licht talked a good game, but he never put the plan into action. A year later, CNN looked the same, and ratings continued the slide that started under Jeff Zucker.

It was clear just a couple of months into his reign, it was clear that Licht was in over his head.

He took over a sinking ship, and he wasn’t able to stop the incoming water.

No word on who takes over at CNN, but if the network is going to bring back the credibility it lost, the network will need a serious house cleaning.

Stay tuned….
