It’s not a shock to you or me that CNN+ is crashing and burning. We could have told the CNN bosses this idea wouldn’t work… and we could have told Chris Wallace that his move to CNN+ would be an epic disaster. Axios is reporting that investment and projections for CNN+ are expected to be cut dramatically in response to a low adoption rate, two sources tell Axios.

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, CNN was actually a news channel. You should have been there....

I wouldn't watch Chris Wallace for free on Fox News. I haven't watched CNN for years. Even at the airport, I took a seat as far away from the TVs as possible. Why would I pay for what I wouldn't watch for free? Absolute lunacy. If the new owners are smart, they'll cut their losses and pull the plug.

When I first heard about CNN+ I thought why would anybody pay for CNN stuff? They were already in the dumpster ratings-wise. I also wonder what the heck they are teaching about marketing these days.

Pay for cnn, that's a laugh. CNN is the leader in fake news. I will not, nor will I ever believe anything on cnn. Hopefully they won't be around much longer.

If CNN reported that Joe Biden was elected President of the US, I wouldn't believe it. Still don't.

I read yesterday they only have 10,000 subscribers - and they thought they would have a million the first year, and around 12 million by the fourth year. Whoever came up with those numbers should be the first to be fired.

#2, before covid I used to travel a lot for my business and I noticed that, even in airports, no one was watching CNN. Everyone was engrossed in a phone, tablet or laptop. CNN got ratings for viewers who were ignoring the network completely.

I'll bet the person or persons that came up with the idea of paying to watch CNN isn't fired. The network would just lose another viewer.

Forgot to add…”apologize for partisanship, and running fake stories, and promise to do better.” Great advice but it won’t happen. The NY Slimes made the same promise after the 2016 election and look how that turned out.

There are too many streaming services and there are only 24 hours a day. I don't subscribe to any streaming services. Plenty of ways to get news that is free.
I knew this CNN+ would be a failure. Poor Chris! Not what does he do? Retire to Florida and play golf?

I bet the only customers are leftist news rooms and leftist news papers.

Liberals live in their own fantasy world and are shocked when confronted with reality.

FOX ran and then reran several times a "report" by Chris Wallace about an upscale turkey farm and the owner who was once fired by Steve Jobs early in her business career. That is the only work by Wallace I ever thought was good and likeable.

People don't even watch CNN for free. It is ultra stupid to imagine that charging for the lies would make them more popular.

People are already paying for CNN. It's on cable TV isn't it? Well, cable costs money, not free like regular TV, which NBC, CBS and ABC are. Does CNN+ have different content or is it more of the same propaganda from the left?

quite common in business - new ventures are started by business plans not based on any test marketing.
rather, slick-meisters reverse engineer business plans by starting with the top level numbers needed to show profitability and then simply back out the details need to add up to those pie in the sky numbers. use nice charts too.
