CNN chief executive Mark Thompson says he will remain in his role as Skydance completes its takeover of CNN's parent company, Paramount. The announcement ends speculation about whether new owner David Ellison would replace Thompson, who has been leading the network through cost cuts and a digital revamp since 2023. Media watchers are weighing what continuity at the top means for CNN's direction under Paramount Skydance.
Why now: The new Paramount Skydance ownership has prompted questions about leadership changes at CNN, and Thompson's decision to stay answers them.
