New CNN+ streaming service to launch in the first quarter of 2022
AT&T-owned WarnerMedia will launch a new subscription streaming video news service in the first quarter of 2022, the company said Monday, as WarnerMedia prepares to join forces with Discovery as part of a proposed new company the telecom and media giants announced in May. The CNN+ news service – which will exist separately from cable channels CNN, CNN international, CNN en Español and news and true crime channel HLN – is geared toward “CNN superfans, news junkies and fans of quality non-fiction programming,” the company said in a press release. CNN rivals such as Fox News have also sought new revenue from subscription news services geared toward superfans.
