CNN+ to Shut Down April 30 — It Launched March 29

Never heard of it. I was never a fan of any of the 24-hour news channels, but I can't imagine why you would want to use the name CNN if you were going to do something else entirely as the article indicates:

".. there was little on offer for CNN buffs, as the streaming platform doesn’t offer round-the-clock news and live updates the way the legacy channel provided by a regular cable subscription does."

I mean, wasn't that the point of CNN? So CNN+ is CNN minus 24 hour news? What's left?

CNN has been hemorrhaging viewers for a decade. Busted too many times for infra-yellow journalism. I'm sorta shocked that they took this shot. Their airport contract is a better model for their continued existence. Don't leave it up to people to choose you, find a way to stay in their face.

Chris Wallace left FOX to join CNN+ (lol)

I can't wait til the dominoes fall.... There's better news by YouTubers and/or Twitters.

MSNBC and FOX will die next..

CNN is still the go to network for breaking news. Their coverage of the war in Ukraine has been top notch.

$5.99 a month.

They threw 300 million at it before pulling the plug.

I can't help but think this was a case of "build it and they will come" thinking instead of "our market research shows a strong demand for this to be a product".
