Anderson Cooper has reached an agreement on a new contract to remain with CNN, according to sources. His role has seen significant expansion, integrating him further into the network's ventures into podcasts and streaming services.
Cooper currently hosts the nightly "Anderson Cooper 360," the weekly "The Whole Story," and the podcast/streaming series "All There Is." He is also a key anchor for major breaking news events and election nights.
