Bloomberg TV head moving to CNN

Andrew Morse, Bloomberg’s head of U.S. television, will join CNN in an executive role, reports Mariah Summers of BuzzFeed.

Summers writes, “Speculation that Morse was looking to make a move back in April after clashes with then Bloomberg Media Group CEO Andy Lack caused Morse to make a statement praising Lack’s leadership. Lack is now Chairman of Bloomberg Media.

“At CNN, Morse will take on either a vice president or supervising producer role that will include a financial aspect as well, sources say.

“Morse joined Bloomberg in June of 2011 after serving as an executive producer at ABC News Digital.

“CNN and Bloomberg could not be reached for comment.”
