A number of longtime CNN empIoyees and hosts could soon be losing their jobs as the network eyes yet another major shakeup as ratings continue to slump.
According to a report from In Touch, the network’s new CEO, Mark Thompson, is reportedly planning on massive cuts in an effort to reign in CNN’s budget and boost ratings. A number of the network’s highest paid on-air taIents could soon be out due to the budget cuts, In Touch reported.
“Anderson knows he’s on the chopping block because he makes a whopping $20 million a year. He’s already started looking for a new gig! Chris Wallace takes $8 million and figures he’s a likely target, too!” one source told the outlet.
Other names mentioned were Wolf Blitzer, who makes $15 million a year, while Jake Tapper currently makes $8 million. Both personalities are under contract through the 2024 eIection, though changes are on the table after that.
