Chris Licht, who was named as CNN’s chairman and CEO about a year ago, will depart the corporate news network, said the chief executive of CNN’s parent company.

David Zaslav, the head of Warner Bros. Discovery which owns CNN, said that he “met with Chris and he will be leaving CNN,” according to a report from CNN’s media reporter, Oliver Darcy, published on Wednesday. His remarks were made during a conference call with CNN’s employees.
