\n\tCNN<\/a> is ready to enter the streaming<\/a> era\u2026again. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Warner Bros. Discovery-backed news outlet said it would launch a new \u201cAll Access\u201d subscription product for $6.99 per month, or $69.99 per year, starting October 28. The company billed the new service as the best way to interact with a burgeoning suite of new content built for audiences using mobile devices or connected TVs. Subscribers who sign up by January 5, 2026\u00a0can get the annual plan for a special introductory price of $41.99 for the first year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWith this new subscription offering, our audience will now have access to the best of CNN across platforms, including multiple live stream channels, our signature video-led journalism and all articles on CNN.com and in the mobile app,\u201d said Alex MacCallum, executive vice president, digital products and services, CNN Worldwide, in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s an essential step in CNN\u2019s evolution as we work to give audiences the complete CNN experience in a format that reflects how audiences engage with the news today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new launch is emblematic of CNN CEO Mark Thompson\u2019s continued efforts to push CNN, a mainstay of traditional television into a new age even as news junkies increasingly turn to non-traditional video sources for both quick-hit information and in-depth reportage. The maneuver is crucial. Unlike many of its rivals, CNN has yet to develop a sustainable digital-video product. And while it experiments,\u00a0competitors like NBC News and CBS News have launched content offerings<\/a>\u00a0that can be found everywhere from Amazon\u2019s Fire portal to YouTube.<\/p>\n

\n\tSubscribers to \u201cAll Access\u201d \u2014 the product builds on a \u201cbasic\u201d subscription tier that allowed for unlimited reading of articles on CNN and its mobile app, along with some subscriber-only content \u2014 will be able to stream a selection of CNN\u2019s live U.S. and international programming; a library of CNN original series and documentaries; new content from CNN journalists; and exclusive live events. CNN said it would disclose a full schedule and content at launch.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn some ways, the new concepts echo one of CNN\u2019s biggest recent initiatives: The company in 2022 debuted CNN+, a subscription-based streaming hub that executives said represented the best way to capture die-hard viewers with a mix of lifestyle and news programming that relied on personalities including Wolf Blitzer, Kate Bolduan and Kasie Hunt.\u00a0Within a month of its launch, the service was shut down by CNN\u2019s new parent corporation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tCNN unveils the launch as its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery., readies itself for a split of its assets, with CNN being placed amid other traditional cable networks. As such, a streaming CNN product that was previously available on the company\u2019s Max streaming hub is being removed, and there will likely be new considerations of whether to bundle it with other broadband offerings from the new corporate entity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CNN is ready to enter the streaming era\u2026again.
