"[W]hat’s actually increased at CNN is the length of tune-in of our viewers, meaning that those viewers are actually watching for a longer length of time each time they come." "I hope I’ve encouraged an atmosphere were they [anchors] know that [expressing their own viewpoints in public] is OK, and we’re comfortable with it." "We are basically doing live news 22 out of 24 hours a day. Everyone said we were getting out of news. We doubled-down on news." "I think we’ve been willing to broaden out what we define as news, and I think that’s allowed us to do series like Weir, Spurlock, Bourdain and Lisa Ling. And I think that’s really helped."
