According to reports, CNN pays for Anchor Anderson Cooper 18 million a year, a sum that may be found on the crossing network when your rating company can shoot.
Cooper, the face of the network and host of its Primetime program at 8 pm, along with other anchors such as Kaitlan Collins and Jake Tapper face an uncertain future after the stunning Monday of Warner Bros. Monday. Discovery, David Zaslav, about the division in misfortune, according to the Puck’s bulletin.
Zaslav touched the WBD financial director, Gunnar Wiedenfels, to take care of CNN and other cable assets, including TNT, TBS, HGTV as part of a new company called Global Networks.
A source told The Post that CNN employees are worried about Wiedenfel, who say he has the reputation of reducing expenses incidentally.
“Gunnar’s news is not good,” the person said. “It’s Slash and Burn.”
Media Media’s writer, Dylan Byers, distinguished Cooper and his $ 18 million salary as a possible goal, considering that the network is in the last place in the ratings.
“Why, for example, Gunnar would pay Anderson Cooper 18 million a year when Kaitlan Collins gets the same ratings about one fifth of the salary?” Byers wrote.
According to Nielsen’s latest ratings, “Anderson Cooper 360” attracted 647,000 total viewers on Tuesday or about $ 27 per viewer.
“The fountain with Kaitlan Collins, which was transmitted at 9 pm, took 829,000 spectators on Tuesday, according to Nielsen.
Cooper’s exact salary has never been notified and it is unclear where Byers got the figure. The publication above reported that Gloria Vanderbilt’s son pays up to $ 20 million a year.
A spokesman for the CNN refused to comment on Cooper’s salary.
Cooper, which joined CNN in 2001, may not remain in the alleged blood bathtub.
“When Gunnar is achieved, Anderson will probably have determined that he no longer wants to read the news of the day to less than a million people every night,” Byers wrote.
The CNN representative once again pushed for the suggestion of Byers that high wage anchors can obtain severe hair slices in the midst of the planned restructuring under Wiedenfels.
“This is a complete manufacture. There is a zero truth,” the spokesman said.
The Pioneer of News News, which is considered “the most confident name in the news”, had paid strong contracts, but its ratings have been reduced to historical lows in recent years.
During the news events, Fox News has often quadrupled the CNN audience.
Fox News is a Fox Corp – Sister Company of Corporate News Corp Company.
The economy of maintaining a talented world -wide world news operation is increasingly difficult to defend, especially when younger viewers go to Tiktok and YouTube for news.
Last autumn, CNN denied the ascents to veterans anchors Tapper and Wolf Blitzer, while classification and card journalists won the layoffs, according to the site.
As part of the Warner Bros. Discovery Breakup, Zaslav will keep HBO, Warner Bros. Studios and the streaming platform Max.
Last week, 59% of shareholders voted against their $ 51.9 million mass package for 2024, a strong frustration sign of investors.
WBD was formed by 2022 in a melting of $ 43.1 billion between Warner Bros. and Discovery.
Most of the debt load of approximately $ 37 billion of the WBD will be seen on the global network.
