Former BBC and New York Times boss Mark Thompson faces a squeeze in running CNN, according to the New York Post, if and when Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is approved.
The merged operation would see one executive in charge of both CNN and CBS News. The company is considering several big names, including current CNN CEO Mark Thompson, NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde and former NBC News chief Noah Oppenheim. Ben Sherwood, currently CEO of Daily Beast, and former CBS News president David Rhodes are also under consideration.
CBS News is currently the BBC's news partner in the States.
