CNN anchor Jim Acosta is expected to leave the cable news network just days after a layoff was announced.
The layoff included scheduling changes, which dropped his 10 a.m. ET show.
According to a report in the Status newsletter, Acosta spoke with colleagues over the weekend, saying he plans to leave the network.
Acosta’s show will be replaced with “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown.”
CNN CEO Mark Thompson had previously suggested to Acosta that his show be moved to the less desirable midnight slot and increased to two hours.
An insider from CNN told Fox News Acosta “struggled with the choice.” He may be getting out of his contract before it expires.
