Just days after buying Clicker Media and naming its CEO, Jim Lanzone, president of CBS Interactive, succeeding Neil Ashe, the television network’s digital division must now replace its entertainment-division head, as Anthony Soohoo is leaving the company, AllThingsD reported.

Soohoo said in an email to staff that he was planning on leaving before Lanzone’s hire, according to AllThingsD, and CBS Interactive said it has no immediate plans to replace Soohoo.
