CNN CEO Mark Thompson laid off about 200 people, or 6 percent of the network’s workforce

Puck News founding partner and senior correspondent Dylan Byers spoke to Morning Wire host John Bickley to provide more insight into the changes at the legacy media network.

The struggling news network is also shaking up its weekday show lineup as it attempts to recover from shedding millions of viewers since the first Trump administration.

CNN lost a fifth of its audience from the Biden inauguration to Trump 's second inauguration.

Dylan : The damage on the ratings front was far worse. They didn’t lose a fifth , but they had a.

fifth of what they had four years ago . They went from 10 million to less than 2 million, in terms of viewers.

Fox News is benefiting from its own business success, which is they do a very good job creating the product that they create.

Fox News has now basically become the cable news channel for America . They account for something like 580 or 600 of the most top watched news telecasts since the election.

But, again, when their audience which is a very old audience when that audience goes away, they will face the same challenges that all television networks face.
