CNN+ Is on Its Deathbed and I Can’t Stop Laughing

CNN+, the troubled subscription-based streaming service from the equally troubled CNN, has had a devastatingly embarrassing launch, and it looks like it will probably be killed soon—an undeniable act of mercy, saving the pathetic service from a slow and painful death.

According to Axios, “Warner Bros. Discovery has suspended all external marketing spend for CNN+ and has laid off CNN’s longtime chief financial officer as it weighs what to do with the subscription streaming service moving forward.”

The network hoped CNN+ would net 2 million U.S.-based subscribers in its first year, but in just under a month of operation, the service has acquired a paltry 150,000 subscribers and reportedly has fewer than 10,000 daily viewers. Nevertheless, CNN executives actually think the launch has been successful. Warner Bros. Discovery executives disagree, however. Probably because they’re right.

With marketing being axed for CNN+, there’s likely no light at the end of the tunnel for CNN+, which has $300 million invested in its development and marketing.

According to a recent report, Chris Wallace, who left his gig at the number-one-rated Fox News to host his own show on CNN+, is having “daily tantrums” over the “miserable launch” of CNN+ and is threatening to walk.

Hey, whatever floats your boat. I try to find my comedy in other places, but hey, who am I to judge?
 
CNN+ to Shut Down Just One Month after Launch

Warner Bros. Discovery is shutting down the CNN+ streaming service on April 30, just a month after it first launched, according to multiple reports.

CNN’s incoming CEO Chris Licht informed Executive Vice President Andrew Morse, who oversees CNN+, of his decision to terminate the service, sources told Variety, which first reported the impending closure. The closure was subsequently announced in a CNN article.

The decision comes after multiple reports suggested the launch did not fulfill the network’s expectations.

Two weeks after the launch, fewer than 10,000 people were using CNN+, people familiar with the matter told CNBC last week. The streaming service costs $5.99 a month or $59.99 per year.

CNN executives expected the service to draw 2 million subscribers in its first year, and another 15-18 million subscribers after four years, Axios reported.

Don't you think they'd loose whatever remaining audience they still have? Nobody watches CNN for actual journalism. They lost that years ago.
