Chris Licht is resigning as CEO of CNN after a scathing magazine profile alienated staffers and key senior figures at the network who called for his head.

Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s corporate parent, announced Licht’s resignation effective immediately.

Amy Entelis, a veteran executive at the network, is rumored to be his replacement, according to Puck.

His departure comes a little more than a year after he took over for Jeff Zucker, the beloved former network boss who was forced to quit after revelations of a relationship with a subordinate.

Licht accused Zucker of undermining his leadership by planting negative stories about the news operation.

“I have great respect for Chris, personally and professionally,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said in a statement.

“The job of leading CNN was never going to be easy, especially at a time of huge disruption and transformation, and he has poured his heart and soul into it.”

Chris is telling outraged supporters “I hope they get the leader they deserve,” according to a source.
