CNN’s chief news asset is staying put, at least through the next presidential election. Sources confirm that Anderson Cooper has renewed his CNN contract, inking a deal to stay with the cable news network through 2016′s presidential race.
The intrepid newsman came to CNN in 2001, after a stint at ABC News (and host of The Mole); he’s hosted his signature show, Anderson Cooper 360°, since 2003. From September 2011 through May of this year, Cooper also hosted a syndicated talk show called Anderson.
