CNN Is Launching Its New Streaming Subscription for $7 a Month

CNN will offer live U.S. and international news, original shows, and exclusive content for $6.99 monthly or $41.99 annually, aiming to improve on past subscription attempts.

  • On October 28, CNN will launch the `All Access` subscription in the U.S. at $6.99 per month or $69.99 annually, offering a centralized destination for its journalism, CNN announced.
  • After earlier stumbles with CNN+ in 2022, which was shuttered one day shy of its one-month mark amid Warner Bros. Discovery's merger-related changes, CNN Max launched in 2023 and is now being phased out.
  • The new tier includes streaming of select live U.S. and international programming, access to more than 1,000 hours of CNN Originals and CNN Films, and a $41.99 introductory annual price for sign-ups by January 5, 2026.
  • CNN aims to avoid another flop and executives will tell CNN staff on October 23 about the new service's go-to-market strategy under Mark Thompson, CNN chairman and CEO.
  • In a crowded streaming market, ESPN and Fox have launched direct-to-consumer services while 35% of US consumers cut entertainment subscriptions and CNN averages 459,000 primetime viewers.
