Christiane Amanpour to leave CNN in June 2027 after 43 years

CNN chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour said she will leave the network in June 2027, weeks into a new ownership era after a merger.

Posted Updated (13 d ago)

Christiane Amanpour, CNN's chief international anchor, said on Monday that she will leave the network in June 2027. She has been at CNN for 43 years. Fox News reports she will go off the air then.

The Hill reports she announced it in a statement. She said that after "many months of thought and a few sleepless nights" she decided to "separate from CNN." She called the network her partner of 43 fantastic years.

Two outlets place the exit alongside a corporate merger. PBS NewsHour says CNN is entering a new era under owner Skydance, after an $81 billion merger that puts CNN and CBS under one roof. Deutsche Welle says the announcement follows Paramount Skydance's merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN's parent company. Neither report, as excerpted here, says Amanpour cited the merger.

The New York Times reports she started at CNN as an assistant in 1983. BBC News says she has covered wars including those in Rwanda, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Iran. Fox News says her departure shocked longtime colleagues.
