CNN apparently has decided to go through some changes. According to reports, Jim was offered to host a new evening show at midnight ET. This is apparently seen as a worse timeslot due to the time of day, and CNN previously aired reruns during this slot.
Deadline is reporting that Jim told CEO Mark Thompson that the timing of this change – as Trump just became President again – was “suspicious,” given his history with the POTUS. As a result, he’s seemingly exiting.
He’s expected to announce his exit from the network as a result.
