CNN, record holder for shortest streaming service, wants another shot


New CNN head thinks CNN+ "was abandoned rather briskly."

"We’ll know in a few years time if we’re beginning to make progress, even if that still doesn’t look like it because of the aggregation of declining platforms and growing ones," he said, requesting patience regarding the next chapter in CNN streaming. Advertisement Company executives discussed plans for a CNN streaming service as early as December 2020, and in May 2021, employees learned that CNN+ was happening, Deadline reported. CNN+ accrued high-profile news anchors, and in its three weeks of availability, it had an estimated subscriber count of 100,000–150,000, according to Variety, which reported that the early figure put the streaming service on track for year-one quotas.
