David Ellison Takes the Helm at CNN as Network Pushes International Streaming

With new leader David Ellison now steering the news network's future, CNN launches its first paid streaming service overseas, accelerating its digital expansion. Just two weeks after his Skydance Media completed its $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN will roll out its full subscription streaming product in the UK and Canada on October 20. The deal gives Ellison control over CNN, CBS, HBO, and Paramount.
