CNN+ is shutting down
Less than one month after launching, the streaming service is being taken offline.

This might be the fastest death of any streaming service ever. Even Faster than QUIBI.
I assume it’s only in USA?Never even heard off it.
I assume it’s only in USA?
only 10,000. And if it had a 30 day trial, then no one paid anything for it.I hadn't even heard of it until today. There were people PAYING to consume CNN content? The world is a strange place.
Be careful with those jokes.Oh my god, so what does this mean for the future of Microsoft Gamepass?
how else are we gonna get our impartial fact based news coverageI hadn't even heard of it until today. There were people PAYING to consume CNN content? The world is a strange place.
High on their own supply.1 month? Jesus, that's extremely embarrassing. All that money wasted... Didn't Chris Wallace leave Fox for CNN+?
So these clowns looked at CNN's dismal ratings and thought people actually wanted more CNN they would need to pay for?

It was a stand alone service.Oh it was a Hulu add-on? Those are complete garbage. There was some deal for Starz or someshit through Hulu and I snagged it, I could only see like 1/10th of the full catalog on the app. Not worth ever buying one of those add-ons imo.
Thank god someone gets it I actually like HBO Max so if they don’t get dumb and try to rename it or change the UI just put a LIVE CNN tab on the App and post backlogs of CNN documentaries, Parts Unknown and other shit. Simple…but somehow they’ll get it wrong I’m sure as big media always does.CNN content may come back in a different streaming package. New management doesnt seem to want CNN+ on its own. Who knows. But still a disaster launch.

CNN+ will shut down at the end of April | CNN Business
CNN+, the streaming service that was hyped as one of the most significant developments in the history of CNN, will shut down on April 30, just one month after it launched.www.cnn.com
The decision was made by new management after CNN's former parent company, WarnerMedia, merged with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery earlier this month.
The prior management team's vision for CNN+ runs counter to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav's plan to house all of the company's brands under one streaming service. Some CNN+ programming may eventually live on through that service. Other programming will shift to CNN's main television network.
"In a complex streaming market, consumers want simplicity and an all-in service which provides a better experience and more value than stand-alone offerings, and, for the company, a more sustainable business model to drive our future investments in great journalism and storytelling," Discovery's streaming boss J.B. Perrette said in a statement.

For any other publication starting out, these numbers would be pretty solid. The problem is, from what I heard, they dumped millions into developing the service. This is nothing short of a disaster.It was never alive.
10,000 subscribers in a country of 330 million people.
CNN was great back in the day where it was the only 24 hour news channel, and there was no internet.CNN seems to forget that no one actually watches CNN. It exists to be run in airports and hotels where people don’t have a choice. Absolutely no one sits at home and goes “I’m gonna switch to CNN”.
Resetera does.CNN seems to forget that no one actually watches CNN. It exists to be run in airports and hotels where people don’t have a choice. Absolutely no one sits at home and goes “I’m gonna switch to CNN”.
Resetera does.
100% true.And nothing of value was lost.
I watch CNN when there is international shit going on like a war. They have enough affiliates and remote reporters and usually are not political when reporting in hard news. The problem is that this lasts for like a week, and then YouTube catches up with local correspondents that are better and less repetitive.CNN seems to forget that no one actually watches CNN. It exists to be run in airports and hotels where people don’t have a choice. Absolutely no one sits at home and goes “I’m gonna switch to CNN”.
The best part is that it can forever continue being a joke.CNN+ was real? I thought that was a joke folks were saying.
*Cough*
WTF is even on a cnn streaming service?
