UM…: CNN, record holder for shortest streaming service, wants another shot. “Mark Thompson, who took CNN’s helm in August 2023, over a year after CNN+’s demise, spoke with FT about evolving the company. The publication reported that Thompson is ‘working on plans for a digital subscription streaming service.’ The executive told the publication that a digital subscription, including digital content streaming, is ‘a serious possibility,’ adding, ‘no decisions had been made, but I think it’s quite likely that we’ll end up there.'”

The network that people in increasing numbers choose not to watch for free will earn paying customers on the second attempt in a streaming market that’s gotten so tight that even streaming king Netflix has stopped revealing subscriber numbers.

I don’t see it.
