CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss will have to look elsewhere as she reboots the network’s flagship nightly news broadcast after CNN mainstay Anderson Cooper struck a new deal to stay at the cable news channel for the foreseeable future.

Variety reported on Monday that Cooper signed a new contract with the network in recent weeks that will ensure he will stay in his primetime cable news perch for the time being.

Besides hosting the longtime weeknight staple Anderson Cooper 360, Cooper anchors a Sunday night newsmagazine-style program and recently launched All These Is, a new podcast on grief and loss.

CNN declined to comment about the contract extension or the terms of Cooper’s deal.
