Cable network has been searching for new head since Chris Licht’s ousting in June
In announcing Mr Licht’s exit on June 7th, Mr Zaslav told CNN staff that the search for a permanent leader was “going to take a while” and “it’s important that things settle down”.
On average, only 573,000 people watched CNN on any given evening in the second quarter of this year, down from 1.8mn during the same period in 2020, according to Nielsen figures. After Mr Zucker’s departure, Mr Zaslav has sought to reposition CNN as a less “activist” network than it had been during the Trump years, a strategy that was advocated by John Malone, the cable billionaire owner of Virgin Media Television and Warner board member.
He joined The New York Times as chief executive in 2012, where he steered the newspaper through a digital transformation before stepping down from the publisher in 2020.
