Well, well, well, it looks like for Chris Wallace, the grass isn’t always greener in mainstream media!
A new report from media reporter Jon Nicosia says Chris Wallace is ‘having daily breakdowns’ over the flop launch of CNN+:
In case you’re one of the tens of millions of people who only thinks about CNN when you’re forced to watch it in airports and hospital waiting rooms, the $200M+ launch of CNN+ has been, well, an unmitigated disaster:
Fewer than 10,000 people are using CNN+ on a daily basis two weeks into its existence, according to people familiar with the matter.
The people spoke with CNBC on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss nonpublic data.
CNN+ launched on March 29. The subscription news streaming service, which charges $5.99 a month or $59.99 annually, only became available on Roku on Monday and still isn’t on Android TV. Still, the paltry audience casts doubt on the future of the application following the recently completed combination of Discovery and WarnerMedia into Warner Bros. Discovery.
Wallace made the move to CNN+ after finding some of the opinions on Fox News questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election and the mainstream media narrative about the January 6th riots “unsustainable.”
Well, if his goal was to be seen by FAR fewer people, it looks like he’s succeeded!
