CNN+ is the newest addition to Apple TV and Roku, a news streaming service that’s changing up its original business. CNN Digital will produce 100 hours of content per month with some in-depth specials like Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. Every three episodes of their new show Hidden Heroes will be offered for free on the platform so viewers can decide if they want to subscribe before it starts charging $2.99 per month after one year.
The “cnn live” is a new app that will be launched in March. It will cost $2.99 per month for early subscribers, and the price will increase to $3.99 after one year of being subscribed.

Those of you who still care about what mainstream news anchors have to say may be pleased to learn that CNN+, the Cable News Network’s premium streaming subscription service, has finally been given a price. CNN+ will begin during the final week of March, according to the Los Angeles Times, and will be accessible to early users for only $2.99 per month, a rate that will be locked in as long as the account is active. After the promotional period ends, CNN+ will cost $5.99 a month.
CNN has launched a new service in the wake of Zucker’s departure. So, what’s next? (From the Los Angeles Times)
- According to two sources familiar with the plans, the business spent $120 million last year and employed 400 new staffers, including renowned on-air talent like Chris Wallace, Kasie Hunt, and former NPR star Audie Cornish (a CNN spokeswoman stated it was under $100 million). This year, CNN+ is expected to cost several hundred million dollars to run.
- Internal strife and business manipulations, however, have cast a pall over the project. Jeff Zucker, CNN’s high-profile boss for the last nine years, was forced to leave on February 2 when parent firm WarnerMedia discovered that he neglected to reveal a sexual connection with his longtime staffer Allison Gollust, who was also the company’s top marketing officer. Gollust has also departed the firm.
- CNN+ was developed with a lot of input from Zucker and Gollust. Even before the controversy broke, it was unclear if WarnerMedia’s new owners, Discovery, would accept CNN’s current strategy. Discovery is slated to conclude its purchase of WarnerMedia in April.

- CNN+ will be a standalone direct-to-consumer service that will deliver original, live, on-demand, and interactive content in addition to CNN, CNN International, HLN, and CNN en Espaol linear TV channels.
- At launch, 8-12 hours of live, daily programming featuring topical deep dives and lifestyle content from some of CNN’s most recognizable faces, as well as a few new faces, will coexist with a thriving community component that allows fans to engage directly with anchors and experts in real-time conversations about the issues that matter most to them.
- CNN+ will debut with a large library of non-fiction, long-form content, including previous seasons of CNN’s award-winning original series and films, such as Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, This is Life with Lisa Ling, and United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell.
