Re: CNN+

said by ohreally:

how's that different to any other news channel, e.g. Fox "News" or "News"Max or OA"N", where people must pay for it as part of their cable subscription whether they want it or not?

I mean, OA"N" is struggling because they're being booted off of various platforms.

I would think you'd be a BBC guy. I like BBC and CBC (I live close to Canada) besides, what's wrong with just using a streaming app or news feeds and putting up with an ad from now and then?

Oh, and you forgot MSNBC. Which to their credit, didn't include "NEWS" in its name. As for CNN, they've been the "Certainly Not News" since Ted sold them off the Time Warner back in 96. Took'em a while to infuse CNN with its entertainment themes, but last time I checked, Timer Warner is in the "Entertainment" business so it makes good sense. It's clear that's where they should stay. You have to admit, they kind of suck running a "News" service. Just saying.
