Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Anderson Cooper recently signed a new contract to remain at CNN, with Variety first to report the deal.
- A CNN spokesperson declined to comment on the reported renewal.
- The agreement aligns with CNN's push into digital products, including a newly launched subscription streaming service offering on-demand programming and a 24/7 live feed.
- The renewal arrives as TV news organizations cut costs, and after Cooper moved to CAA in June, where agent Bryan Lourd explored potential opportunities with rival networks.
- Cooper remains a key presence across platforms, continuing AC360, The Whole Story, the All There Is podcast, election-night coverage, CNN’s New Year’s Eve telecast, and correspondent work for 60 Minutes.
