I don't think I've ever seen a news channel or program go back to old graphics before.... especially after 25 days (since that's Monday the 26th) ... they introduced them on June 1st, also Chris Licht was still there on June 1st... it feels like longer but it's not been that long.
The internal problem for CNN wasn't really Licht's fault, he couldn't fix the internal problems that happened under Zucker, and the ratings, which I have to point out , I feel the audience of American cable news viewer likes the idea of someone telling them what they think of the news versus doing the news with an anchor, reporters. Licht couldn't fix the problem for many reasons, some of it was that he might have been over his head, he did producing and did that well, "Morning Joe", "CBS This Morning", "The Late Show" and I'd say that he made CNN News Central pretty good, but I think running a network was just over his head, there's more moving parts. It happens.
I guess the logic is more it's hard to find someone who would want to run CNN, so they are taking a long time to find someone, they could change their mind and have someone before the election, but just in case, they are saying probably don't be thinking they are going to make an announcement anytime soon.
