American media mogul Jeff Zucker has acquired a London-based content production company operated in part by his former employer.
On Saturday, Zucker’s RedBird Capital Partners in partnership with Abu Dhabi’s International Media Investments (Imi) announced the acquisition of All3 Media from Liberty Global and Warner Bros Discovery (Wbd) for £1.15 billion (around U.S. $1.45 billion). Zucker previously served as the president of CNN, the international cable network owned by Wbd.
“All3 Media is one of the world’s greatest content companies, and this gives us an incredible platform to continue to grow our expanding portfolio,” Zucker said in a statement. “The demand for new shows and ongoing existing series, both scripted and unscripted, makes All3 a perfect fit for us.”
All3 Media comprises more than four dozen independent content studios spread across several countries,...

After more than two decades on CNN and an exposing digital scandal in 2020, Jeffrey Toobin is leaving the cable news network.
The longtime chief legal analyst reveled his resignation Friday in a letter to colleagues and in a tweet:
Friends, I’ve decided that, after 20 years, I’m leaving @cnn after my vacation. Was great to spend my last day on air with pals Wolf, Anderson and Don. Love all my former colleagues. Watch for my next book, about the Oklahoma City bombing, coming in 2023 from @simonandschuster
— Jeffrey Toobin (@JeffreyToobin) August 12, 2022
The announcement comes just more than a year after a shamed Toobin returned to CNN following eight months off air due to the writer being seen masturbating during an online New Yorker staff meeting. The venerated magazine fired the contributor and Emmy winner in November 2020, while CNN, at the time run by Jeff Zucker, didn’t officially suspend or...

Update: Chris Cuomo will join Nexstar’s NewsNation this fall, landing at the fledgling news outlet after his dismissal from CNN late last year.
The announcement came at the end of an hourlong interview with Dan Abrams on NewsNation’s Dan Abrams Live. The wide-ranging interview, his first since exiting CNN, covered his firing after the disclosure of the extent to which he advised his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, as he faced sexual harassment allegations.
“I really believe that this outlet has a chance to reach who I call free agents — not right, not left, reasonable. Regular, open mind, open heart, willing to listen when someone disagrees,” Cuomo said.
Abrams’ sit down, taking place during the timeslot that Cuomo previously occupied at CNN, seemed designed to address his firing and other issues, including a claim of sexual assault, in advance of the NewsNation announcement.

After a long and much-publicized interruption, Chris Cuomo wants to get after it again.
Cuomo, who made that phrase the mission statement for his 9 p.m. program on CNN, is taking his bulldog demeanor and lean-in anchoring style to NewsNation, the still-nascent news outlet backed by large station owner Nexstar Media, which has in recent months made a series of acquisitions aimed at bolstering its presence in the media sector. Cuomo will join the NewsNation primetime lineup in the fall.
Cuomo has something to prove. His departure from CNN was less than amicable. The anchor was caught up in an investigation of sexual harassment claims against his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and in late 2021, New York State Attorney General Letitia James released documents showing the younger Cuomo took an active hand in helping his brother defend himself, an act that is anathema to most journalism organizations.

Donald Trump's hatred of CNN and animosity toward his former friend Jeff Zucker is well-established, but the president took it one step further Monday, suggesting a boycott of the network's parent company to foment management changes.
"I believe that if people stoped [sic] using or subscribing to @Att, they would be forced to make big changes at @CNN, which is dying in the ratings anyway," he wrote on Twitter. "It is so unfair with such bad, Fake News! Why wouldn’t they act."
The tweet was seemingly inspired by an experience watching the network while ...
