Summary
FT reports that CNN has plans for another subscription-based video streaming platform. CNN+ was "a big, bold experiment which was abandoned rather briskly," CNN's Mark Thompson told FT. CNN+. debuted on March 29, 2022, and shuttered on April 28, 2022.
CNN's parent company, WBD, launched CNN Max in September 2023. CNN Max streams a 24/7 live channel that differs from what is aired on the CNN cable channel. CNN hasn't revealed how much interest the service has garnered or why it might benefit from a different CNN streaming platform.
