The news that far-left CNN is relaunching its streaming service is not a victory for CNN. Instead, it’s proof the fake news outlet is doomed.
To begin with, this new streaming service will not be a standalone service like the ill-fated CNN+.
Secondly, whatever this new CNN streaming outlet is called, it will be offered free—free—to those who already subscribe to the Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) streaming service Max (formerly HBOMax).
In other words, CNN is being demoted to nothing more than an add-on to an existing streaming service.
Why?
Because WBD knows CNN cannot survive on merit, meaning a standalone product that survives either on subscription fees or advertising revenue.
The 2022 launch of CNN+ was a catastrophe in countless ways, but all would have been forgiven had the streaming service come anywhere close to its subscriber projections. According to the “experts,” CNN+ was supposed to attract a few million subscribers immediately. On this day, CNN+ was projected to have seven to ten million subscribers.
