Didn’t hear about CNN+ until it was put out that it was getting shutdown. It seems like we are doing away with cable tv and moving into an era of subscription based streaming but if they are already struggling with their cable tv programming it seems like it was deemed to fail from the beginning especially with people already paying for multiple subscriptions and just adding another doesn’t seem like it would be worth it.

For someone who apparently didnt know about it, you've described this entire situation perfectly. Krystal and Sagaar on Breaking Points have been doing great segments on this.

[@lazilyymade]

It's clockwork: new technology creates a cheap alternative to an established system, it becomes profitable, the big wallets put their hands in the pot, the new system gains public favor and oversaturation, and the people who try to cash in late get bit in the ass. That's where we got oil alternatives, Bitcoin, private cable companies, electric cars, smartphones, mobile app copycats, all of kids entertainment, and everything else. And eventually some big player gets that ass bite and serves as a cautionary martyr for a scenario that's gonna replay in about 30-50 years. Edit: punctuation

Yeah, yeah, yeah... That old BS argument, again. Thank God for truely independent KZbinrs, who would NEVER take sponsorships or EVER lie to their audience or make a fuss about something minor to get more attention/views/money. Besides: If the news outlets went away, all news KZbinrs would go away INSTANTLY, too.

Especially anti- SJW and leftist channels they are two sides of the same coin. Also most KZbin channels, Political Twitch streamers and Podcasts make a living off of reading and citing the same mainstream outlets that they like to harp on about it's honestly sad.

[@volvo09]

@@GPT-4_Beta of course everyone can be biased and some people are easily bribed to push narratives, but it's a lot easier in corporate news. As much as I dislike CNN, I don't even think they wanted to talk about the prior president practically non stop for 4 years straight.... That's a clear agenda pushed by management. And people tuned out, just like people would tune out from a KZbinr (some would stay because it supports their view). I view all corporate media as lobbyists. Except rather than lobbying political figures for support, they are pushing narratives out to the public to raise support or block support. Big media has always been the gatekeeper of information by spiking stories or not covering topics or people of interest... Up until the little guys got a voice, now they're trying to reign it back in by paying these social media platforms to prop up their content, use their "fact checking" companies, favorable people in high positions, and so on. Quick final thought, a few years ago you couldn't even turn on CNN or MSNBC without hearing how terrible and corrupt Ukraine was, and now look what they're saying.

[@kissthesky40]

It’s FAKE NEWS.

[@ProductBasement]

I think it failed for two reasons: 1) CNN is hardly the most trusted name in news. They can't get eyeballs when it's packaged with cable channels that people do want to watch, so the idea that people would pay anything for just CNN content is misguided 2) _News_ should be a _feed_ ; _entertainment_ can be a _library_ . The purpose of a streaming service is to allow subscribers to watch on-demand, which is fine with content with a long shelf life and re-watch value. But news has a very short shelf life and almost no re-watch value, so having a catalog of it is not worth browsing for free, let alone paying for

[@scrapthatwithmatt9520]

You are making very very good points, I had my own explanations, but yours just seem clear as the day. I would only add that it seems not a lot of people even knew CNN+ was a thing, which contributed to its failure to some degree aswell

I'm old enough to remember when cable was touted as an escape from excessive commercials combined with better quality of video feed. I'm betting that once most people are on streaming, commercial spots will take up more and more of viewing time.

[@bobbyc1120]

Streaming has one fundamental advantage over cable, and that's competition. The delivery method is the same; rather than broadcast channels like before, modern cable providers simply stream shows on a set timetable. If you're not watching a "channel," it doesn't exist anymore.

(And even less so for things like a show about parenting by Anderson Cooper)🤦🤯

[@silverdeathgamer2907]

They have alot of passive viewership already(just being played in the background in places like airports) and the most dedicated cable news viewers are the elderly so eventually they are going to just die and it doesn't look like CNN or other cable news channel can bring in younger generations. Cable news channels in the US in particular are entertainment channels first and not news channel, outrage and conflict helps drive viewership good hardworking objective reporting on issues their advertisers and political guests don't like isn't something they focus on. If people want political content they can get it on youtube, spotify etc. for free with less pontificating and self-righteousness. And their most fervent and older viewers probably don't use streaming services as much.

Minor correction. Communication between CNN and Discovery was restricted by U.S. law. Companies in a merger are not allowed to discuss future plans until after the merger is final. The question is why did CNN not wait a few weeks before going live with this product? The stunning failure seriously damaged an already flailing brand.

[@nlpnt]

For that matter why didn't Warner brand it as a suite of programming bundled into HBO Max?

[@ThatLaloBoy]

AT&T isn’t exactly known for launching good products. Remember when there were three versions of HBO apps that had different content for different plans (HBO Go, HBO Now, and HBO)? Or when DirecTV had a ton of mobile apps and plans that ended up getting changed every six months? Or how they botched their WarnerMedia properties?

[@matthewbowen5841]

I think most CNN staff knew it was doomed, but it was a Zucker vanity project. They rush-launched it, knowing it would be stillborn otherwise, hoping that having it already in operation would buy it some time. But it was an even bigger failure than anticipated, so the numbers proved it was a futile exercise.

[@CalvinsWorldNews]

It's sorta sad, 20 years ago CNN was a super credible news source. Then they spent 4 years obsessing over Trump-Kremlin collusion, none of which turned out to be true in the end. Then the last year they've obsessed over the Jan 6 thing, even when there's a land war in Europe. And talked about extending vaccine mandates to kids, all while most of Europe has lifted restrictions and half the US states have zero mandates. They're the definition of a bubble, playing to social media. Except that younger audience (their target audience) don't pay for things and largely use 'borrowed' logins from their parents, most of whom would rather donate to NPR.

[@bobbyhillthuglife]

I think you missed a big reason it flopped: People thought that it would give them access to CNNs live news coverage. Some found out beforehand and didn't subscribe at all, and others only found out after losing 6 bucks. Their live news has always been tied to cable, and for a lot of people who have completely cut the cord, having a live streaming news app of just their channel, and/or having the choice of their feeds from around the world would have been worth it. But instead, they put out the irrelevant content that you listed, and that nobody ever asked for.

Very objective comment, thank you ! The biggest lesson, which I believe to be contained in this, is that absolutely nobody is prepared to pay money to hear people voice their opinions. This is , I think, the reason for the massive decline in the following of world news media ; they are no longer disseminating news ;, rather merely voicing their opinions on world events. In the old days, news media printed hard news and limited the opinions of their publication to the editorial article in the newspaper. Today, it is virtually all editorial opinion .

[@sdghomero]

Sadly, when you say that "in the old days..." yeah, more objective news were pushed, but the media has always had an agenda. Even with 100% "objective" news, you can do it by simply pushing the (real) stories you need. Right now it is all Elon Musk buying Twitter and Mr. Depp's trial. But we almost hear nothing of the recent Peruvian election disaster and inflation, for example. That ought to be more important than a celebrity crapping the bed.
