CNN to launch streaming video news service
CNN announced a subscription streaming video news service that will launch in the first quarter next year. Called CNN+ it will exist side by side with CNN and feature eight to twelve hours of live programming a day, the company said.
“CNN invented cable news in 1980, defined online news in 1995 and now is taking an important step in expanding what news can be by launching a direct-to-consumer streaming subscription service in 2022,” Jeff Zucker, chairman of WarnerMedia News and Sports and president of CNN Worldwide said in a statement.
“On top of a television offering that has never been stronger, which remains at the core of what we do today, we will offer consumers a streaming product that grows the reach and scope of the CNN brand in a way that no one else is doing. Nothing like this exists.”
The price tag for CNN+ will be announced later, as will specific programs and the live schedule, CNN reported.
The service will launch first in the United States and will roll out later in other countries.
