Warner Bros. Discovery is shutting down CNN+, according to two people familiar with the matter.

An official announcement is coming at noon ET, one of the people said. Operations will halt April 30. CNN+ leader Andrew Morse is leaving Warner Bros. Discovery, the people said

Well if true this is a faster retreat than I expected.
1 month. Wow… big corporation speak this is lighting speed.

Guess everyone who advocate and supported this thing happening never had the clout they thought they did…. Usually the folks who approve this kind of thing don’t back down when it’s a failure and decide to keep pumping cash thinking they can turn it around for 3-6 months….

So to launch and die in 1 month is crazy

Still amazed the only person who has lost their job over this is a CFO?!?!

“Warner Bros. Discovery leadership wants to use CNN programming to bolster a larger streaming bundle that will be combine the best of WarnerMedia and Discovery”

Now, shut down CNN-

In fact, most of the personalities at CNN are likely getting their walking papers within the next 4-5 months.

Breaking News……Liberals’ are cheap!

Wallace looks constipated.

“Brian Stetler got canned as well.“

Tater got canned?

[Cecily]

He’s almost 80. As we have said to Tony Mengele, and now Chris, retire already!

[mass55th]

Didn’t even last a month. How embarrassing.

This deserves a Carlton Dance:

Next month they will premier CNN- to even things out!

Will they pay subscribers to watch?

[Rinnwald]

It’s about time. What a ripoff!

I got baked and watched the Three Stooges on CNN+. They played three Shemps in a row! Man, even Panama Red can’t make that guy funny.

Wait...sorry...I’ve been informed that was Chris Wallace.

Late night car shield commercials?

For a mere $1 million I could have saved CNN $299 million by simply telling them not to do it.

Well I’m sure CNN would be willing to hire Chris Wallace as a golfer you know people need coffee, real anchors and stuff. :-)

[rottweiller_inc]

But I have to ask Will they blame Trump for this? :-)

Now Wallace can go back to doing something he’s qualified for: men’s bathroom attendant.
