Jeff Zucker is getting another shot at running a network. Zucker, the former CEO of NBC Universal, is going to be named the new president of CNN soon, according to TVNewser. At CNN, Zucker will succeed Jim Walton, who announced he was leaving the company earlier this year.

According to the New York Times, Zucker has been the lead candidate throughout the four month search for Walton’s successor. If given the job, Zucker would be tasked with turning around a much-maligned network. Though CNN continually rakes in lots of cash, the brand itself is ridiculed as directionless at best and amateurish at worst.

Jeff Bewkes, CEO of Time Warner and the man who will eventually name the new head of CNN, is speaking today at a conference. TVNewser will be there, so be sure to check them out for updates later today.
