Now that CNN has made the decision to shut down<\/a> its new streaming baby CNN Plus less than a month after it went live, you might be wondering what went wrong. A report<\/a> from Axios has a chart that shows the streaming service was far from reaching its projected year-end viewership goal, and would have burned through $400 million in 2022 alone to try to get there. <\/p>\n

CNN projected that the service would have two million subscribers by the end of the year, but around two weeks later, they found they\u2019d only managed to attract 150,000 people. At first, this doesn\u2019t sound too bad, but considering services like Disney Plus had 10 million subscribers<\/a> in its first day \u2014 and that Quibi, which was similarly shut down early in life<\/a>, saw 910,000 people sign up in its first few days \u2014 this wasn\u2019t a lot for CNN. <\/p>\n

Streaming isn\u2019t for everyone, but CNN was setting itself up to make a lot of money. CNN Plus was supposed to make a profit of $800 million per year by 2030, an even bigger cash cow than its cable network is today (which makes about $500 million in annual profit, Axios estimates). <\/p>\n

How? By 2030, CNN was betting it\u2019d have 30 million people either paying $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year (or $2.99 a month<\/a> if they were early subscribers), hoping the uptick of subscribers would eventually shift to making money instead of only spending it. By 2024, CNN thought it\u2019d only lose $200 million, and break even in 2025. From there, the company expected to make $200 million in 2026 before slowly crawling its way up to its $800 million decade-end goal in 2030. <\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know the exact logic that caused CNN to pull the plug, but seeing how CNN Plus only had 150,000 subscribers and apparently needed to burn $1 billion for a chance at that $800 million a year, it\u2019s not hard to see what was at stake. Instead, CNN got out early. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
