On Thursday, Warner Bros. Discovery said it will add 24/7 news from CNN starting September 27. CNN Max will not be a live feed of the cable network but will feature live programming from CNN US, CNN International and feature original programming built specifically for Max. The streaming service says this is part of an open beta for news that will enable experimentation with product features, content offerings, and original storytelling, all with the input and feedback from the Max subscribers.
There will also be new programming exclusively for max subscribers, including CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta, Rahel Solomon, Amara Walker, and Fredricka Whitfield,āĀ andĀ āCNN Newsroom with Jim Sciutto.āĀ You will also find featured CNN content like āAmanpour,ā āAnderson Cooper 360,āĀ āThe Lead with Jake Tapper,ā āThe Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,āĀ and more.
āAs we laid out at our launch only a few months ago, our vision for Max is to be The One to Watch for all members of a household. We have the broadest and highest quality entertainment offering, and now will include world-leading news as a meaningful addition for all Max subscribers, at no extra charge. CNN Max is differentiated by having 24/7 news at its core from CNN, the leading global news organization, and being available on a scaled streaming service in the U.S., which has a significantly younger and additive audience compared toĀ traditional TV. This provides even more quality choices for Max customers who will be able to easily catch up on what is happening in the world, particularly in moments of breaking news, all within one seamless experience. Weāre excited to engage our Max community in this initial beta stage to help us learn and develop what appeals most to our customers in this new genre,ā saidĀ JB Perrette, CEO and President, Global Streaming and Games.
CNN joins a myriad of other news services that have made the jump to streaming, including NBC News NOW, another 24/7 news service thatās been around four years, and the collection of CBS News channels available on Paramount+, Pluto TV and as standalone apps on smart TV platforms.
āTheĀ quality, depth and reach of CNNās global journalism is what distinguishes the companyĀ and weāre thrilled to launch CNNĀ Max and create a 24/7 live news streaming service.Ā CNNĀ Max brings the advantages CNN has in global newsgathering, breaking news coverage and top analysisĀ to a new platform and a new audience. CNN was founded by innovating new ways to deliver the news,Ā and through CNN MaxĀ more consumersĀ will now be able toĀ find, engage andĀ learnĀ fromĀ CNNāsĀ reporting, giving the company multiple ways to build and grow for the future,ā saidĀ CNN Worldwideās leadership team,Ā Amy Entelis, David Leavy, Virginia Moseley and Eric Sherling.
When the service launches in September, you will find the current CNN hub renamed to CNN Max. Not only will you find live content there but also over 900 episodes of CNNās new and legacy programming. This will include Ā āWhoās Talking to Chris Wallace?āĀ andĀ āThe Whole Story with Anderson Cooper,ā and more.
