Well none of us knows the real reasons why Licht was so disliked. But I like the direction he was going. How he executed those changes maybe weren't done very diplomatically. And maybe he rubbed people the wrong way. He seems to be trying to ressurect the CNN legacy. Freshening the graphics and pulling back the use of Breaking News for everything. To me the biggest legacy of Lichts tenure was the creation of News Central. To me that should be the format they use for the majority of the dayside programming. The talking head panels are just boring. But he moved a glacial pace. Ratings probably will never recover. CNNs identity was severely damaged leading up and during the Trump years. I dont agree about the "ugly looking sets" comment. (with one exception being the dismantled "brick set")
