CNN’s Mark Thompson Provides Some Additional Details For What He Calls Its “First True New Streaming Service”


CEO Mark Thompson said the service would debut in the fall.

Discovery upfront, Thompson said that the service would include live channels and news feeds and exclusive programming and other content. The service will be the network’s latest effort to establish a standalone presence to counter cord cutting and draw in younger audiences who have shunned traditional cable and satellite subscriptions. A previous effort, CNN+, lasted just less than a month when it was introduced in 2022, even though tens of millions were poured into drawing new talent for the platform.
