(AP) – Christiane Amanpour will be leaving CNN after 43 years. The network’s longtime anchor plans to scale back her daily show, “Amanpour,” on CNN International to once a week starting in 2027. She will end her show in May and leave the network the following month. Amanpour, 68, will also end her PBS show at year’s end. She will continue her podcast, “The Ex Files,” with her ex-husband, Jamie Rubin. Amanpour’s exit coincides with a new era at CNN as it comes under new owner Skydance, after an $81 billion merger that brings CNN and CBS under one roof.
