Opinion: Is Disney+ Headed for ANOTHER Price Hike?

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know the spat between the state of Florida and Disney World.  If not, here's an overview from CNN.com.

Now that the state has decided to take away Disney's special business status, what could that mean for its current online services, more importantly, Disney Plus?

At the current pricing of $7.99/Month (or $79.99/Year) it isn't a bargain by any means.  But with end users being burnt out with paying for streaming services (and the recent failure of CNN Plus) could Disney even consider hiking the price again to accommodate any future price hikes that the state of Florida may impose on the company once their Government is resolved and they have to be under Florida's rules and regulations?  The company may also use the excuse of Florida to hike the price of its online service even more than what it is now.

CNN+ to shut down at end of April, 2022

.Due to lack of interest and falling ratings at CNN itself, Discovery Communications has decided to shut the streaming service down on April 30th, 2022.

A spokesperson for the streaming service said in a statement:

“While today’s decision is incredibly difficult, it is the right one for the long-term success of CNN,” Chris Licht, the incoming president of CNN, wrote in a memo. “It allows us to refocus resources on the core products that drive our singular focus: further enhancing CNN’s journalism and its reputation as a global news leader.”

The announcement is a stunning admission to the failure of the streaming service, as CNN itself has sunk tens of millions of dollars getting the streaming service up and running, and is the first failure of the streaming wars by a major news and entertainment company.  The company has planned to spend more than $1 Billion on the streaming service, plus adding an additional 500 employees, including producers, engineers and even planning to rent additional office space in Midtown Manhattan.
