CNN to launch CNN+

[nycnewsjunkie 1446]

The final death knell comes early. CNN decided to pull the plug two days earlier than anticipated.

To be fair, it was for a good reason, though I'm amused that this was easier than simply disabling billing.

The graphics were the only thing they managed to not completely screw up with this dumpster fire of a streaming service. Hopefully those designers find work elsewhere in the company, and here’s hoping CNN refocuses around unbiased news (though the prospect for either seems rather grim at the moment.)

I feel like CNN needs new graphics as they've had the same ones since 2014. Kind of a long time for any TV show or channel. Maybe they could go back to a more darker theme like they did in the 2000's.

Chris Wallace's interview show will live on at HBO Max.

That Puck article was pretty good and is definitely worth reading.

The article's behind a paywall. Can anyone summarize?

Was kinda hoping it would have taken over the 9pm hour on CNN.

I'd actually like to see Wolf Blitzer's short lived CNN+ show in the 9pm. I never subscribed to CNN+ but heard really good things about it as it was more like a traditional newscast. Chris Licht seems to have wanted this over another opinion show.

CNN + had good graphics that would do well on the tv network with a few tweaks.
