CNN's Jeff Zucker Announces Plans to Step Down At End of 2021

CNN president Jeff Zucker announced during the network's morning call on Thursday that he will lead CNN through 2021 but plans to depart at year-end.

“I cannot imagine not being here right now,” Zucker said. “I’m going to stay and finish my current contract, which, as I said, will keep me here until the end of this year. At that point, I do expect to move on.”
