CNN has confirmed it will launch a new streaming service in the autumn, three years after the Warner Bros-Discovery merger forced a premature shutdown of its earlier effort, CNN Plus.
The new product will form a part of CNN’s existing subscription offer and will make its debut first in the United States.
Subscribers will be able to choose from a selection of live channels, catch-up features and video-on-demand programming, across all platforms: the CNN mobile app, connected TV apps and CNN.com.
“CNN has been leading and innovating in video-led journalism since its inception, and the expansion of our subscription offering to include streaming embodies that pioneering spirit,” said Alex MacCallum, Executive Vice President, Digital Products and Services. “We’re giving audiences an even more convenient way to access CNN’s trusted reporting and original programming—brought together in one intuitive, easy-to-use experience.”
This new product will be part of CNN’s new All Access subscription service tier, which launched in October 2024, largely around a paywall to selected CNN.com articles.
CNN will remain available to pay-TV subscribers who will also be able to access the product for no additional cost.
CNN will also continue to have a presence on Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max streaming platform.
