CNN chief Jeff Zucker resigns over relationship with colleague

CNN president Jeff Zucker announces his resignation for failing to disclose a romantic relationship with a colleague at the US cable television network.

“I certainly wish my tenure here had ended differently,” Zucker says in a message to the network’s employees. “But it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute.”

Zucker, 56, says his resignation is effective immediately.

As head of the cable network since 2013, Zucker was one of the most powerful media executives in the United States.
