Linden Soles (born October 26, 1956, in Winnipeg, Manitoba) is a Canadian television journalist, best known to international audiences as an anchor on CNN.[1] He was known for reporting the death of Diana, Princess of Wales on CNN.
His employment was terminated by the network in 1998 in a management shakeup by Rick Kaplan, after Kaplan concluded that the network had too many anchors for viewers to keep track of.[1]
Prior to joining CNN in 1993, Soles worked for Canadian radio stations including CHIQ-FM Winnipeg and television stations including CKND-TV in Winnipeg, and both CKVU-TV and CHAN-TV in Vancouver, British Columbia. Soles also served for a time during the late 1970s as host of the CBC Radio program "90 Minutes With A Bullet".
