CNN lays off more staff under new boss Chris Licht:
CNN’s boss Chris Licht continued to clean house at the embattled cable news network, zeroing in on the podcast division.
The network cut “a small number” of people in its audio unit as it continues to refine its strategy for the division, a CNN insider confirmed to The Post on Wednesday.
The insider said eight workers were fired, coming from the editorial and sales divisions.
“Audio is an important growth area for the company,” a CNN rep told The Post. “Over the last several years we’ve learned a lot about the topics and productions that most resonate with our audiences.
As a result, we’ve refined our strategy to focus our resources more specifically in those areas.”
Licht has been tasked with trimming the fat at CNN and reorienting the network to more straightforward reporting versus left-leaning punditry amid declining ratings.
