CNN+, the subscription streaming service from cable news giant CNN, is shutting down less than one month after its official launch, according to sources familiar with the situation.
The move comes following a merger between WarnerMedia, CNN’s parent company, and Discovery to former Warner Bros. Discovery. The launch of the streamer also came amid internal turmoil that involved CNN president Jeff Zucker’s resignation and the ouster of other Warner executives.

Shocker. You would think a network with Don Lemon and Brian Stelter would attract a dedicated user base of paid users.
Shocker. Liberals get their information from a variety of sources.
You mean like twitter and tiktok?
Not to mention Chris Wallace.‘Uniquely Shitty Situation’: CNN+ Shuts Down Weeks After Rocky Launch

I am not surprised, terrible timing and questionable return even for the low price.
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
Fail is clearly a fail.
Who could think a business model that repels what most viewers care to watch would attract anything more than rejects of society.‘Uniquely Shitty Situation’: CNN+ Shuts Down Weeks After Rocky Launch

What a dismal failure.
For better or worse, CNN is a dinosaur. An international cable news outlet, that specializes in current & live coverage. Both are dying markets.
I think they'd best stick to their core business, even though that niche is a receding one. It's what they do best, what they are known for. Their audience isn't looking for personality driven entertainment.
And get Chris Wallace into an anchor spot, for krissakes! They've got a prime talent in their niche business, in him. Don't let him languish.

Could they really have not recognized that the trend is away from such things.
It also looks like the new CNN head is looking to make CNN more news focused again rather than dominated by wacko opinion personalities.
It's been suggested that either he was promised that or he anticipated such a move before signing with CNN.CNN needs to get Wallace into an anchor spot, ASAP. He's a prime talent, perfect for an anchor.
CNN used to be awesome when it first came out. Transforming, 24 hour news feed. Used to love it.
Couldn't agree more about Wallace. He's exceptional and would be a great anchor.

Yep. I still do like CNN. No one does breaking, live, or international, better. That's what they need to stick with, their core branding.
Wallace bring gravitas, IMO. A great deal of it, to be honest.
I've said this so long, but CNN needs Conservative representation on their staff. And even though I used the term just recently, having a multi-lean staff brings . . . gravitas!
While they've gone sideways over the years, we need to remember in its heyday CNN's top guy was Lou Dobbs! And, they had Tucker Carlson, too! That diversity across the political spectrum made them great! I loved stuff like "Cross Fire"!
Oh my god please please please elaborate on how you perceive CNN+ as a "woke" business venture. WAIT. Give me five minutes, I gotta make popcorn.Go Woke, Go Broke
Only viable ones……Are you suggesting that social media only exists on the center and the left?
I watched back then, too. However, things have changed a lot since then. Back then, it was debate about differing visions for the country. If you didn't agree with one of them, it was still interesting. Now, however, it isn't debate. One side is making up reality. I wouldn't watch that kind of cable show now.Yep. I still do like CNN.

As I previously mentioned, 60% of Twitter users identify as Democrats.
Lord knows they have plenty of open anchor spots to fill. There is enough dead wood at CNN to start a wildfire even with Cuomo gone.CNN used to be awesome when it first came out. Transforming, 24 hour news feed. Used to love it.
