[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3769126, member: 26737"] There were other forces at work there, primarily Discovery completing their takeover of WarnerMedia from AT$T. Discovery announced that they intend to take CNN in a different direction, more into straight news, rather than following Fox and MSNBC down the Op-Ed path, and CNN+ doesn't fit that plan. It's highly likely that the folks at Discovery wouldn't have approved the launch of CNN+ as an independent service, but the takeover wasn't complete when it launched, so the best they could do was ax it once they had control. The prevailing thought is that the CNN+ content will be merged into Discovery's unified platform, possibly under HBO's online service. It's just speculation at this point, but it doesn't seem likely that they'll just take the kind of money tied up in that content and flush it down the toilet. [/QUOTE]
