I’ll bet the 10,000 viewers were college Snowflakes who watch shows like SNL and all the late night talk shows. Ya gotta be high or drunk.

A $300 million investment just dissolves overnight???

I’m no media mogul, but, with so much money and resources of talent such as Chris Wallace involved, wouldn’t they take more time than just a month, to see if they can gain an audience???

Or, is it a situation where there are staggering operating losses, for each day they continue to operate with only 10,000 viewers, which prompted them to pull the plug?

How was this a surprise to anybody ????? You have one of the lowest rated news outlets trying to sell the same stuff they can barely give away for free and it is shocking that nobody wants to buy it ????

You know whose careers should end ??? Those who recommended starting up CNN+ in the first place. Their business judgement is obviously worthless.

His team had just gotten its first look at data from CNN+, the much-promoted subscription streaming service started two weeks before, and the news was grim. Fewer than 10,000 viewers were watching at any given time, despite a multimillion dollar ad campaign and big hires like Chris Wallace. They were recommending a cold-eyed review.

This cracks me up. They declared Truth Social "dead on arrival" and yet it took them two months to scale to one million users. (They have added 350,000 more in the past three days alone). By comparison, Twitter took two years to get to a million users.

Would have taken CNN+ about a half century to scale to a million.

The new-born Christian in me wishes no one ill.
The pagan remnant is a different colored horse. It is laughing my fat, white caboose off.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, ...

“Zaslav and his team had experienced bad luck with single-topic streaming services”

indeed, if they had just had a bit of good luck, or maybe even just neutral luck, all would have been well!
