STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - Warner Bros Discovery named Mark Thompson as CEO of CNN on Wednesday, tasking the former New York Times and BBC chief with reviving a news network beset by sagging ratings and falling profits.
The announcement follows Chris Licht's exit in June after a rocky one year at the helm that included a divisive town hall with former Republican U.S. President Donald Trump and the shutdown of CNN+ streaming service just weeks after its launch. With Thompson, 66, Warner Bros Discovery is turning to an executive with ample experience at the top level, unlike Licht - a former TV producer who had worked on"The Late Show With Stephen Colbert."
During his 8-year tenure as the CEO of the Times, Thompson helped transform the Gray Lady into a beacon for newspapers in the internet age by focusing on digital subscriptions. The Times' share price grew nearly five-fold in the period, widely outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 index.
