Anderson Cooper's Fate at CNN Revealed

  • In recent weeks, Anderson Cooper signed a new contract to remain with the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news division as CNN pushes digital outreach and its new subscription streaming service.
  • CNN decided to retain Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor because he is tied to the brand and draws viewers through Anderson Cooper 360, election coverage, and the New Year’s Eve telecast.
  • Nielsen data show CNN’s primetime viewership fell 42% in Q3 and its primetime audience among viewers between 25 and 54 dropped 58%, even as Erin Burnett, CNN host, and Abby Phillip, CNN host, draw key viewers.
  • The renewal could raise eyebrows as networks trim costs amid a decline in linear programming and audiences migrating to streaming, while CNN declined to make executives available for comment.
  • In June, Cooper moved to CAA and is now represented by CEO Bryan Lourd; CAA explored rival tie-ups as Cooper expanded into podcasts, streaming, and 60 Minutes, CBS News correspondent roles.
