CNN+ was conceived as more than a newschannel, in the way that Fox Nation provides more depth. But Fox viewers are more passionate than CNN viewers. If you want to start a streaming service, you need to tap into passion. That's what will drive subscriptions.

I imagine Chris Wallace will move to the 9 pm time slot.
They're saying it will become a straight news show, rather than an opinion show. So yes, Wallace would be a good host, similar to Brian Williams. If so, he will work a lot harder than he has in years.
The CNN+ shutdown comes on the heels of the audience loss reported at Netflix. Obviously consumers are becoming a lot more selective in their video streaming choices.

Hopefully CNN Go will remain. It's identical to CNN+ by and large.
Thats What I was thinking given that WarnerMedia has been putting more attention to HBO Max app. I could see some of the CNN+ Content moving to CNN TV itself or go to HBO Max. Its just like when NBC News and MSNBC will put some of its content on Peacock or CBS News and CBS O&O's will put some of its content between the CBS News app and Paramount + or ABC News having some of their content on ABC News app and Hulu.
Warner Bros. Discovery Cuts Scripted Programming Development at TBS, TNT (EXCLUSIVE)
TNT and TBS are moving out of the scripted game under new parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, Variety has learned exclusively.
variety.com
WarnerMedia Discovery to cut scripted programming.
This policy was begun by AT&T ownership. They couldn't understand why TNT spent so much on programming.
So what will become of TBS and TNT? NBA and MLB with March Madness mixed in? The rest just tired repeats?
You may be right about sports being the main current content on those channels.
As long as they don't start porting over the crap from TLC.

there was a major hockey game, it's called the Stanley Cup Finals, also not to mentions parts of the nation was dealing with power outages brought on by the on going heat wave. but also the ratings took a hit for a build to a PPV featuring wrestlers from New Japan Pro Wrestling which the AEW viewers who aren't die hard pro wrestling fans don't know who the wrestlers are, CM Punk got hurt a few days after winning the AEW World title and needed foot surgery, Jeff hardy got arrest Monday for a DUI and he just signed with AEW not to long ago after WWE released from for possible drug/alcohol issues, the injury bug is biting wrestling hard not just AEW, and the whole MJF controversy (google it up to get a explanation cause i'm not gonna explain it) . and many diehard wrestling fans were a little distracted over the news of the Vince McMahon sexual misconduct/hush money scandal. if AEW ratings keep going down, it might hurt them, but i don't see WBD kicking AEW to the curb unless someone's hate it like the executives who came in during the AOTimeWarner era hate it like they did with WCW and they actually owned it, AEW is not even owned by them, so if they leave, it won't kill the company cause they could get a new home on a different network or streaming platform
