But now he’s going back to a weekend format for which he is best known:Wallace will take the reins of a new Sunday program on CNN, the network announced Wednesday during an upfront presentation for its parent company, Warner Bros.
Discovery.The show is intended to serve as part of a new “CNN Sunday” premium block that will also include a new program devoted to llonget-form enterprise journalism from CNN correspondents that sounds similar to the concept of CBS News@ “60 Minutes.”Executives see the new Sunday program as a collection of “enterprise” stories from CNN correspondents around the world, said Chris Licht, recently named chairman and CEO of the news company.
