CNN will be returning to straight news reporting, Discovery CEO David Zaslav said Wednesday, a departure from the 24-hour opinion channel it became under fired CEO Jeff Zucker.
'People in America are looking for a place where people aren't yelling and giving their opinions and they're looking for more news. That's what you'll see from CNN,' Zaslav told CNBC's Squawkbox.
The media company boss discussed Zucker's replacement, new CNN CEO Chris Licht, and spoke for the first time about why CNN+ crashed and burned.
Zaslav said that the Atlanta-based cable news company would steer away from the left-leaning advocacy outlet it had become.
