Brooke Baldwin to Leave CNN

The writing was on the wall back in early October when CNN boss Jeff Zucker benched Brooke Baldwin until after the election and replaced her with Jake Tapper.

When Zucker announced that he was going to stay at CNN till the end of his contract, many inside the network expected something would be happening with Baldwin.

Yesterday, Baldwin announced that she would be leaving the network in April.

1. I want to start with some personal news❤️ 📺 I will be leaving @CNN in April. I came to this network as a freelancer in 2008. I scribbled my name on a post it and stuck it outside a temporary office determined to fulfill my dream of becoming a full-time correspondent at CNN. pic.twitter.com/v4zeG5XMQX
