| CNN+ looks doomed |
| 2022-04-20 |
| [Axios] Warner Bros. Discovery has suspended all external marketing spend for CNN+ and has laid off CNN's longtime chief financial officer as it weighs what to do with the subscription streaming service moving forward, five sources tell Axios. Why it matters: Inside CNN, executives think the launch has been successful. Discovery executives disagree. CNN+ has roughly 150,000 subscribers so far. Warner Bros. Discovery wants to eventually build one giant service around HBO Max. New leadership has replaced CNN CFO Brad Ferrer with Neil Chugani, Discovery's current CFO for streaming and international, as part of a broader finance team restructuring. Other high-level positions at WarnerMedia across different business functions are likely to be eliminated to cut costs and streamline leadership in coming weeks. What to watch: Sources say a plan is being considered to replace Chris Cuomo's 9:00pm EST primetime slot with a live newscast, instead of personality-driven perspective programming.

| #7 We just got hit with a $1.00 Netflix increase and will likely drop them in June/July after we have viewed the shows we wanted. Why Netflix? ONLY because they have a few streams we can't get via CINEMA-HD. (the Japanese/ Korean/Taiwan movies and TV dramas) |

| #6 All this subscription stuff is tanking. NetFlix lost 20% of its stock value yesterday on bad performance and worse forward guidance and the market shrugged it off. The left's conscious decision to precipitate the current economic malaise via COVID is a miscalculation. Once people start shopping for value, they apply that ideation to stuff besides consumer goods. You know, like what media they consume, what politicians they vote for. Stuff like that. Interesting times ahead. |
