Anderson Cooper has signed a new contract to remain with CNN, ensuring his continued presence across the network’s programming.
Cooper hosts the nightly Anderson Cooper 360, the weekly newsmagazine The Whole Story, and the podcast and streaming series All There Is. He also anchors major events, including election night coverage and the network’s annual New Year’s Eve special. Cooper joined CNN in 2001 and launched AC 360 two years later. He also serves as a correspondent for 60 Minutes.
The renewal comes amid industry-wide efforts to reduce costs as audiences shift from traditional cable to streaming platforms. CNN has been emphasizing integration of its linear programming with digital and streaming offerings. The network recently introduced a subscription streaming service that provides on-demand programming, a 24/7 live feed, and exclusive content.
