Chris Licht, the new CEO of CNN, announced on Thursday that Don Lemon will no longer be on the air.
Lemon will be joining Kaitlan Collins and Poppy Harlow in a new morning show as the network struggles to retain viewers.
Anderson Cooper was the only show to make the list of the top 25 cable news shows.
There is no better team to deliver on our promise of a game-changing morning news program. They are each intelligent, reliable and compelling, and they have a rare chemistry. We will be able to offer a smart, bold and refreshing way to start the day.
The statement didn't say who would be promoted to Lemon's prime time spot.
Lemon said that he was floored when he was asked to host the morning show, and that he was honored by the belief of the man.
It will be a thrill to be a part of this challenge. Two of my dearest friends will be working with me. We are going to have a lot of fun, so set your alarm.
Reliable Sources and Chris Cuomo were both axed by the network in the last year.
CNN is in a bad place, according to an anonymous CNN source. The ratings are not as high as they used to be.
The company doesn't seem to understand how hard it is to dig out.
