CNN Washington bureau chief Sam Feist will become the next CEO of C-SPAN, the nonprofit public-affairs network said Tuesday.
Co-CEOs Rob Kennedy and Susan Swain said in March they planned to retire, having held the network reins since 2012. They had succeeded founding CEO Brian Lamb, who still serves on the C-SPAN board. Kennedy is leaving on May 17; Swain will be sole CEO until Feist takes over during the summer. Feist is staying at CNN, where is a senior VP, through June to help with the transition there.
