CNN＋上线未满月就倒闭 流媒体的冬天来了么？【暴虐朗读】

【头条播报】

CNN+, the streaming service that had been hyped as one of the most significant developments in the history of CNN, shut down on April 30, just one month after it launched. The decision was made by new management after CNN’s former parent company, Warner Media, merged with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery. CNN+ was heavily advertised ahead of its launch, and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to hire staff and marquee names. The streaming service found difficulty, though, in convincing enough people to pay $5.99 for a monthly subscription, which offered both live and on-demand programming.
