Fewer than 10,000 people are using CNN+ on a daily basis two weeks into its existence, sources said.
The paltry audience casts doubt on the future of the application following the recently completed combination of Discovery and WarnerMedia into Warner Bros. Discovery.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav hasn’t commented publicly on CNN+’s long-term future. He told CNBC in February he’d need to see how the application performed before deciding on any next moves.
CNN+ struggles to lure viewers in its early days, drawing fewer than 10,000 daily users

Quite honestly, this (CNN+) may have the makings of a dismal failure.
With such a premier hot property as Chris Wallace, why waste him at CNN+? He would seem to be a much needed draw on the Cable Network Channel, no?
From the get-go, I was against putting Wallace at CNN+. His independent-thinking stance would be excellent at the cable channel.
Well, the audience for 24/7 is split among the liberals. You have more liberal cable companies than the one conservative cable news, so the audience is dilutedYoung people don't watch much CNN.
Not many liberals or leftists watch CNN.
The model of 24/7 information works better on the Right.

This is the first I'm hearing about CNN+ so that right there might be part of the problem.

It will be interesting to see where CNN goes from here, now that it is owned by Warner brothers discovery , rather than AT&TI don't see many Liberal Cable News outlets. In fact, MSNBC is the only one I'm aware of. CNN is a bit Left of Center, but I wouldn't necessarily call them solidly Liberal or Progressive.

I have always suspected that the network put Chris Wallace on CNN+ only until a prime-time position becomes available.
I'm one of those freaks who constantly switches channels to try to get a general idea of what is going on. And I agree with Chomsky--MSNBC seems to appeal to younger viewers. Something about it seems more "cool," but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe there's a poll out there that will explain it.
Sure. Young Wokeists love those race-baiting idiots MSNBC employs.And I agree with Chomsky--MSNBC seems to appeal to younger viewers.
Another thing to remember is that there are a ton of streaming services available now. Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Paramount, HBOMax, AppleTV...
CNN+ might have done better if it had launched 5-10 years ago.

I find the term 'wokeists' when used as a pejorative to be highly racist.Sure. Young Wokeists love those race-baiting idiots MSNBC employs.
Likewise. I don't watch CNN now and hearing this doesn't entice me to try, but if the potential audience isn't even aware of your existence it's a problem.This is the first I'm hearing about CNN+ so that right there might be part of the problem.
Not everything needs to be like sports :/Their idiot commentators can barely muster up a few million viewers, so what makes them think they can succeed with this?

Wallace is too good for CNN. He should go to PBS or NPR.Chris Wallace is definitely good, though i think CNN suffers from the same thing other news networks suffer from, their constant need for views and eyes glued to the screen. Its so bad they will bothsides everything and constantly focus on every single drumpf outrage.
