BREAKING! CNN to Name Zucker's Temporary Replacement This Week (Updated)
/As FTVLive told you, Jeff Zucker has been pushed out as the President of CNN after the company investigated Zucker and his relationship with CNN Communications head Allison Gollust.
CNN parent company AT&T started the investigation into the two after fired CNN host Chris Cuomo and his lawyer brought up the relationship as part of a revenge plan by Cuomo to get more money out of the network.
FTVLive has been reporting on the relationship between Zucker and Gollust for more than two years, but AT&T chose to ignore it.
Sources at CNN tell FTVLive that the network is likely to name an interim President to fill Zucker’s slot.
Our sources say it could happen as early as tomorrow.
Insiders tell FTVLive that the names Amy Entelis, Andrew Morse, or Ken Jautz are the top of the list and it will likely be one of those three.
Stay tuned as FTVLive continues to cover the story.
Update: CNN parent WarnerMedia has decided to go with 3 people to fill Zucker’s role in the interim. Two of the three were on our list. They have decided to go with Michael Bass, Amy Entelis, and Ken Jautz.
The announcement was just made to the staff.
