Chris Wallace ‘Having Daily Breakdowns’ over CNN+ Failure
The Miami Standard ^ | April 13, 2022 | Miami Standard News Staff

Posted on 04/13/2022 4:07:33 AM PDT by Trump20162020

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.’”

From 2019, Mike Wallace mentioned...

Accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has ties to Michigan's Interlochen arts school

Still wondering if the Wallace family has an Epstein Problem...

They have 10,000 viewers now which is probably the peak, next month if they are still in operation less 5,000 viewers, supposedly CNN spent $250 million developing the channel

It is idiotic considering no one watched the channel when it was free, why would a sane person pay for the same crap

He’s probably the usual liberal, who only talks to liberals. He thought one half of the country woukdnt matter as long as he got viewership from the rest of the country.

To the best of my knowledge, nobody has paid for CNN. It has been a part of cable TV bundles or played in places like airports. They had a semi captive audience Nobody in their right mind would pay to watch CNN

He sounds like his bonus was based on daily views.

He will be doing commentary on local PBS public affairs shows by the end of the summer.

This clown is 74 years old and worth 10-25 million depending on the source. These Creeps just refuse to go away, retire and enjoy what time they have left.

I started realizing he was a sheep in wolfs clothing (intentional) at the Presidential debate he hosted. So biased to the left.

I don’t know why it took FOX so long to kick his elitist butt out the door.

Even leftards have to pay for higher prices they voted for here in Sleepy’s imposed inflation. Sorry Chrissy there’s just none left over to spend on you.

“Less than 10,000 equals approximately 200 viewers or less per state. Impressive!”

And, 90% of these estimated 10,000 likely live CA, NY, and DC...
