CNN International anchor Bianna Golodryga is leaving the network

Bianna Golodryga, a longtime international anchor and senior global affairs analyst for CNN, is leaving the network. Golodryga, the co-anchor of the CNN International program "One World with Zain Asher," announced her departure Thursday in a post on X. She will make her final appearance on the network Friday, according to a CNN representative. "After nine wonderful years at CNN, I’ve decided to leave for an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up," Golodryga said. "I’m grateful for the experiences, friendships and support from fabulous colleagues during my CNN years. Exciting news to share very soon!" Golodryga's exit comes three days after Christiane Amanpour, the network's best-known international journalist, stated her intention to leave CNN next June. The departures unfold as CNN insiders consider their future under Skydance, which absorbed the network as part of its $111-billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
