On Tuesday CNN is introducing CNN+, a subscription streaming service that combines live news coverage, on-demand programming and interactive interviews.
CNN's goal is to establish closer relationships with news consumers — the same way Netflix (NFLX) and HBO Max have done in entertainment. It has hired hundreds of people and developed dozens of shows for this new platform. Analysts say it is the most ambitious streaming news venture to date in the United States. "We are going to be the only global video-driven news subscription business," CNN chief digital officer and head of CNN+ Andrew Morse said in an interview. The big three broadcast news divisions -- ABC, NBC and CBS -- have streaming channels that are free and ad-supported, but have far less content. MSNBC repurposes some of its programs on NBCUniversal's subscription service, Peacock, while Fox News sells a streamer that focuses on entertainment and right-wing talk, not news. CNN+ is distinct from all of those. Still, the service faces headwinds, including looming management changes and outside skepticism about the service's prospects.

Thinking and liberals are mutually exclusive.
Gotta watch the video. “Hired hundreds of people. Created dozens of programs.” Such excitement!
Well, it still lasted longer than several ex girlfriends.
This article, published on the same day, is kind of ironic:
(He had just accepted a reported $9 million contract.)

That is funny!
“Wallace believes that the desire to chase ratings and make money is what needs to change if the news and the public’s faith in it are to be restored. “
Cheaper than trying to keep CNN+ running.
So, he must be happy now, being contracted to an enterprise making NO money.
He left a $7 million salary with a company that is viable, for this.
Freshly fired today by hatchet man Chris Licht.

Lol no one has updated Morse's Wiki yet. C'mon Freepers!
I’d bet CW collects most of his CNNPlus contract. Might be just a payoff for backing Dems while at FNC. He’ll be 75. Wouldn’t be surprised if he retired.

Sorry Chris, how's the butthurt doing?
Obviously not.
He’s not clueless.
He’s made his bed. When it goes up in flames, let him lie in it.
Obummer
Our news was at 5 and 10 (all 3 channels).
That can't be real. In every Hollywood movie the vehicle explodes while it goes airborne. /sarc
