Jake is being groomed to replace wolf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I don't have to wake up before the crack of dawn for my job anymore, I'd certainly consider it a promotion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jake is being groomed to replace wolf. Is that a demotion? He’s now an anchor. Jake already is an established weekday anchor. I expect him, Jim and Anderson to be the main anchors for the 2024 election coverage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was just demoted from the C WH job, and given a weekend anchor shift as a consolation to save face. Jake is being groomed to replace wolf. I don't think it's a demotion; it's probably a promotion. He retains a significant title as chief domestic correspondent, and is given a show to anchor. He was a WH correspondent for eight years and Chief for three. It's not a job people hold (or want) forever, especially as they get older. It involves long hours and lots of travel. Now, he gets to do a lot of his work while sitting behind a desk.

Roadrunner 140 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Going back to the Zucker exit conversation for a moment, I think it goes without saying that his influence isn't going anywhere any time soon when it comes to the top. "Zucker lieutenant is a top candidate to replace him at CNN’s helm" (Dylan Byers, NBC News) Quote Allison Gollust, a CNN executive and top lieutenant to Jeff Zucker, has emerged as the leading internal candidate to take over the network if Zucker steps down as president, two people at CNN familiar with the matter say.

Roadrunner 140 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 This isn't really a lineup-related thing (well...it could be someday), but I thought this was a pretty significant grab for CNN: She had a very prominent role with CBS so I did not expect this (I'm also just OOTL about her relationship with CBS these past few months). Weijia and Ed have a larger role at the WH today and there's less upward room at CBS so I guess this was the best fit for her. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paula Reid was terrific covering the Trump White House for CBS; this is a great get for CNN! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
