CNN anchor Chris Wallace announced on Monday that he would leave the network at the end of his contract, citing the growing influence of podcasters such as Joe Rogan and Charlamagne tha God.
Wallace who joined CNN in January 2022 after nearly 20 years at Fox News told the Daily Beast he would leave the network at the end of his three-year contract in favor of independent broadcasting.
Describing podcasts and streaming platforms as where the action seems to be, Wallace pointed to Rogan and Charlamagnes influence during the 2024 election, before adding, I dont flatter myself to think I will have that sort of reach.
The Daily Beast noted that Wallaces decision not negotiate his contract at CNN comes as other anchors face being fired or having salaries cut as declining ratings and cord-cutting hit the industrys bottom line.
