\n\tCNN<\/a> aims to put more emphasis on news and less on cable as it launches a new subscription streaming tier that will have more features for an audience that wants news first and a connection to traditional TV a distant second.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo be sure, the company\u2019s new \u201cAll Access\u201d streaming outlet features its traditional cable programming \u2014 nearly all of the live hours of the linear grid between 5 a.m. and midnight, with a few exceptions. But its main goal is to bring viewers into the CNN fold who are interested in the latest news on trending topics, and not necessarily on time slots or talent.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAll Access\u201d offers collections of recent video that might help subscribers get caught up on anything from the recent sports-betting scandal that has involved an NBA player and coach, or the government shutdown. It will feature special live streams dedicated to giving viewers an immediate look at events unfolding in the moment. And its subscribers will also be able to watch CNN\u2019s library of films and documentary programming. Traditional pay-TV subscribers will be able to use the product as well, a nod to the needs for CNN and parent Warner Bros. Discovery<\/a> to maintain relationships with cable and satellite providers even as more consumers migrate to streaming video.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re delivering all of CNN\u2019s industry-leading journalism in one place, accessible on any device,\u201d said Alex McCallum, CNN\u2019s executive vice president of digital products and services. \u201cWhether you are a fan of the live and premium video storytelling on which CNN built its name, or prefer snackable content that catches you up on the day\u2019s essential news and lifestyle stories, audiences can now engage with and consume the full breadth of world-class storytelling CNN and its trusted journalists are known for, however works best for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCNN needs to court viewers who no longer view cable as an integral part of delivering their media diet. CNN is projected to shed 7.6% of its pay-TV subscriber base by the end of 2026, according to estimates from Kagan, a market-research unit of S&P Global Intelligence. CNN was estimated to have 67.1 million viewers in 2024, according to Kagan, but it seen having just 62 million by the end of next year.<\/p>\n

\n\tCNN seeks $6.99 per month<\/a> or $69.99 a year, for the new content tier \u2014 its second attempt to build a subscription-based streaming outlet.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnlike the previous effort, CNN+, which launched and was killed over a few weeks in 2022<\/a>, the new \u201cAll Access\u201d relies more heavily on the video and reporting CNN produces every day, rather than introducing a battery of new programs led by anchors and colorful contributors.<\/a> CNN reporters, producers and correspondents are at work around the world, but may not be able to get more than a few minutes of time for their labors on traditional TV. \u201cAll Access\u201d won\u2019t focus only on the politics-and-breaking-news-focused report of the linear network, and will rely largely on video already in production to generate additional revenue.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut CNN is launching the product yet again during a time of great uncertainty for its corporate parent. In 2022, CNN+ debuted just as the former Discovery Communications was working to acquire the former Warner Media from its proprietor, AT&T. The new CNN streaming debut comes as Warner Bros. Discovery, which had been pursuing a split of its traditional TV assets and its streaming and studio operations, has essentially said it will consider offers to buy the company or various pieces of its portfolio.<\/p>\n

\n\tSubscribers will have access to several channels beyond CNN\u2019s linear U.S. feed. CNN\u2019s international feed is also available, along with two FAST channels \u2014 one devoted to breaking news headlines, much like the old linear cable outlet CNN Headline News, and one tied to CNN\u2019s original documentary series and programs.<\/p>\n

\n\tCNN will add some new programming from current staffers. Anderson Cooper will host \u201cAll There Is Live,\u201d a streaming extension of his podcast focused on grief. Cooper will speak with guests about experiences with grief and loss, and respond to live interactive chat. The show will stream on its own, with episodes available the next day via All Access. Donie O\u2019Sullivan will join people on spiritual journeys as they seek out new sources of meaning in \u201cDevoted.\u201d And Harry Enten offers a statistical look at stories in the news with \u201cThe Enten Factor.\u201d One program that started with CNN+, \u201c5 Things With Kate Bolduan,\u201d a quick-hit look at top stories in the news cycle, will be offered on All Access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CNN aims to put more emphasis on news and less on cable as it launches a new subscription…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[265],"tags":[87835,39088,87796,18,117,19,17,128,31461],"class_list":{"0":"post-149460","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-alex-maccallum","9":"tag-cnn","10":"tag-cnn-all-access","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-tv","16":"tag-warner-bros-discovery"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115451611485973516","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
