So far CNN+ feels like the Quibi of streaming news: Lots of money has been spent, big stars are onboard, but it’s hard to figure out why a large number of people will want to pay for it. TVMoJoe writes
Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photo by Apple TV CNN created the very concept of cable news back in 1980, immediately disrupting decades of network-TV dominance of video journalism. Fifteen years later, it was one of the first mainstream-media outlets to embrace the promise of the nascent worldwide web with the launch of CNN.com.
As for breaking news, it does exist on CNN+: Wednesday saw the platform cover the return of a U.S. astronaut from space and President Biden’s plea for more COVID funding. But because the service doesn’t have a regular feed of live programming throughout the day, you can’t just leave CNN+ turned “on” via your TV and be alerted to some new urgent event via that familiar CNN breaking-news audio cue.
Again, it’s the same issue Quibi ran into: Some of their shows were actually pretty good, but collectively, they didn’t amount to something you’d want to pay for on a regular basis. A CNN+ that was a free, ad-supported product would feel a lot more impressive. But even then, it would be getting into the gate woefully late.
Some Glimmers of Hope As for longer-format series, CNN+ would also do well to lean into the three programs I think have shown the most promise so far:
