The network's contributor ranks have been slashed, with newsgathering restructured to 'deliver on our goal of covering the United States more broadly,' CEO Chris Licht stated.
And the core, as is clear from the cuts, is on CNN, with its ancillary networks feeling the brunt of the cuts, none more so than HLN..
“I want to take a moment to thank Robin Meade— she is not only an exceptionally popular anchor, but also one of the longest-running morning hosts in history,” Licht wrote Thursday. “I know the HLN audience will miss her and the other HLN talent.”But CNN International also saw a reorganization, with its 5 p.m. show also shifting to a CNN U.S. simulcast.
And there were also cuts in newsgathering, though Licht writes that they are “realigning resources to staff up in some units and in more areas around the country.”
