Warner Bros. Discovery has decided to shut-down CNN+ just 4 weeks after its launch. Chris Licht, chairman and CEO of CNN Worldwide said, “This is not a decision about quality; we appreciate all of the work, ambition and creativity that went into building CNN+, an organization with terrific talent and compelling programming.” He added, “But our customers and CNN will be best served with a simpler streaming choice.”
last week fewer than 10,000 people were watching CNN+ each day, CNBC reported, which is very less than their forecasted views. CNN+ head Andrew Morse is also leaving Warner Bros. Discovery after a transition period, the company announced. The company announced that customers will receive prorated refunds on subscription fees.
