CNN is preparing for another major round of layoffs that could impact hundreds of employees, including prominent on-air personalities, according to a report by Puck News. The network’s restructuring comes as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative, with high-profile anchors potentially among those affected. Dylan Byers, a reporter at Puck News, revealed that these layoffs are anticipated to unfold within the next few months.
The move comes as veteran journalist Chris Wallace has reportedly decided not to renew his contract with CNN, further adding to the shakeup. As speculation grows over which figures may face cuts, attention has turned to high-earning stars like Anderson Cooper, who reportedly makes $20 million annually, and Kaitlan Collins, whose salary is estimated at $3 million per year.
The extent of the job cuts and the specific talent to be impacted remain uncertain. CNN has yet to release an official statement on the impending layoffs, but the expected changes underscore ongoing shifts within the media industry as organizations navigate financial pressures and changing viewer habits.
