New CNN bosses have axed the morning show that was the centerpiece of former head Chris Licht’s plan to revamp the struggling network, Page Six has learned.

Breakfast TV specialist Licht built the flagship “CNN This Morning” around veteran anchors Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow, as well as up-and-comer Kaitlan Collins.

But it quickly became a flashpoint of drama and intrigue with reports of on-set clashes between the hosts, and Lemon was publicly rebuked by Licht after he famously suggested presidential hopeful Nikki Haley was “past her prime.”

Chris Licht was blindsided by his ouster as CEO of CNN, Page Six hears.

Insiders say the out-the-door exec had meetings on his calendar for Wednesday, which — as of Tuesday night — he was expecting to attend.

The company announced on Wednesday morning that he’d resigned as CEO.

Chris Licht, the embattled chief executive and chairman of CNN, whose brief one-year tenure at the network was stained by a series of severe missteps, will depart the company.

“I met with Chris and he will be leaving CNN,” David Zaslav, the chief executive of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, told CNN employees at the start of the network’s daily editorial call Wednesday.

Chris Licht is out at CNN after leading the news network for a little more than a year, parent company Warner Bros Discovery announced Wednesday morning.

The company said it is seeking a replacement. In the meantime, executives Amy Entelis, Virginia Moseley, Eric Sherling and David Leavy will lead CNN, the company said.

Licht’s departure came as he faced a rebellion among CNN’s talent and staff. His tenure was riddled with programming missteps and rock-bottom ratings.

CNN’s embattled chief Chris Licht will reportedly step down from the role, according to multiple news reports.

He will be succeeded by Amy Entelis, a CNN executive, for the interim period, according to Puck’s Dylan Byers.

Licht was under fire following a series of controversies, including hosting a town hall with former President Donald Trump, which were detailed in a damaging profile by The Atlantic Friday.

CNN President Chris Licht is leaving the network.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav joined CNN’s morning editorial call to announce Licht will be leaving his role as CEO, CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez tweeted.

Licht is reportedly slated to be replaced by CNN executive Amy Entelis who previously served alongside former CEO Jeff Zucker, Puck News reported. 

CNN parted ways with Chief Executive Chris Licht, a person briefed on the matter said, ending a tenure of a little over a year that was marked by a series of perceived missteps.

Licht stepped down several days after a blistering profile in the Atlantic led to something of an insurrection inside the news network as both on-air talent and producers voiced their growing frustrations and anger over his leadership.

CNN chief Chris Licht told staffers Monday he wants to help them make the news rather than be a central figure in it.

In the wake of a devastating profile of the CNN CEO published Friday by The Atlantic, Licht set about soothing frayed nerves Monday by telling employees on the news outlet’s regular morning call that “I should not be in the news unless it’s taking arrows for you. Your work is what should be written about,” according to two people familiar with the matter.
