Far-left Streaming Service CNN+ To Shutdown Just A Month After Launch, Due To Abysmal Subscriber Numbers Incoming CNN President Chris Licht explained the decision to shutdown the nascent streaming service on April 30, at a staff meeting Thursday. CNN+ was launched on March 29. While he reportedly offered sympathy to the network’s employees, Licht bluntly told them of the CNN+ project was in a “uniquely shitty situation.” Hundreds of CNN+ staffers will reportedly lose their jobs. Licht said in an internal memo that “all CNN+ employees will continue to be paid and receive benefits for the next 90 days to explore opportunities at CNN, CNN Digital and elsewhere in the Warner Bros. Discovery family.” Since the recent merger of Discovery and WarnerMedia, the failing CNN's streaming service has been under scrutiny. CNN+ was the brainchild of disgraced ex-CNN chief Jeff Zucker. Discovery streaming chief J.B. Perrette -- who along with Licht broke the news to CNN’s staff -- reportedly expressed frustration during the meeting, saying “Some of this was avoidable…[but] prior leadership decided to just keep going” with CNN+ before the WarnerMedia-Discovery merger earlier this month, which led to questions about the service’s longevity. Critics on social media roundly mocked the far-left network, with many wondering why the outlet launched a streaming service when few watch its main offering CNN. Many pointed out that the "go woke go broke" meme is becoming reality as viewers reject woke TV content. Netflix this week, announced it is on course to lose 2 million subscribers this quarter. https://www.keneci.com/read-more-hotfeed-on-keneci-channel#h.5etji5p8ka4t
