CNN chairman and CEO Chris Licht said in a statement that the show “will be an exciting new way we are delivering culturally relevant programming and unique perspectives to our audience, from two incredibly dynamic personalities.”Licht said King will continue to anchor CBS Mornings, and former NBA star Barkley will continue his current role at Warner Bros.
