Former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace has reportedly been breaking down in front of his crew over the “miserable failure” of the new streaming platform CNN+.
The launch of CNN+ has been anything but stellar, according to the latest statistics, with the platform drawing in close to less than 10,000 daily viewers and even fewer subscribers. Per CNBC:
Fewer than 10,000 people are using CNN+ on a daily basis two weeks into its existence, according to people familiar with the matter.
CNN+ launched on March 29. The subscription news streaming service, which charges $5.99 a month or $59.99 annually, only became available on Roku on Monday and still isn’t on Android TV. Still, the paltry audience casts doubt on the future of the application following the recently completed combination of Discovery and WarnerMedia into Warner Bros. Discovery.
News of this disaster has not been well-received by Chris Wallace, who left Fox News in late-2021 to join CNN+, and he has reportedly voiced this frustration to his staffers, according to reporter Jon Nicosia.
“SOURCE: Chris Wallace is ‘having daily breakdowns’ over the ‘miserable launch’ of [CNN+],” Nicosia announced. “Wants a ‘CNN show or is threatening to walk’ they go on. ‘He is having staffers count how many times a day his promo is playing.’”

schadenfreude
Couldn’t happen to a “nicer” guy!
I hope that's true!!
They better raise their prices to make up for the lack of viewers. Isn’t that how liberalism works?
Less than 10,000 equals approximately 200 viewers or less per state. Impressive!
I made a move like this once in my 20’s. Oh wait… I did it three times in my 20’s.
Funny how the smartest person in media suddenly isn’t.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Thanks for being so biased in that Presidential debate and being an obnoxious, ignorant twit in general!
😂
Wish I could be a fly on the wall.
Chrissy has always been full of himself. Did he really think people would pay to watch him bloviate? He knew what he was getting in to. He’s still getting a paycheck. He should just ride it out while he can.
No idea how anyone at TimeWarner thought there was a demand for CNN+.
A modestly successful YouTube channel gets more viewers than this.
It’s not the platform, Mr. Wallace, It’s you!
Wow.
That is a true disaster of a clause. I'm not sure I could do any worse if I tried.
Paying to see CNN????
BwahahahahahahaaAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
This is what happens when one loses all sense of one's role in the scheme of things.
We're all important, just not for the reasons we think we are....
Chris is learning its not the face delivering the ‘news’ that gets the eyeballs , its the message. Oooops
At least he doesn’t have to work (while making big bucks) for a channel with some people who may have a different political opinion than him anymore. Because that’s what’s most important, right?
