On top of that, doing NEWS is probably a lot fricking cheaper than paying for the Don Lemon Party to cater to a dozen gay guys in the Castro.

FYI - a max of about 1/2 of this will actually tune into any given program at peak hours.

So....yeah that's a horrifically bad number.

They should bring in Jon Stewart to boost the ratings!

Why pay for fake news when you can ignore it free.

That and put up an archive of all their old news programs. They've got a running document of everything that's happened in the past 30+ years. I think there would be some value in that.

I read the initial subscription numbers were more like 10k, I don’t believe for a second that they found another 140k suckers that quickly. Doomed to fail regardless, and I think it’s hilarious.

Maybe very roughly, but I'd doubt it's nearly that high. It was reported a week ago that there were less than 10k viewers daily. If there are 150k today, there were probably about 100k subscribers at that point. You'd think more than <10% of people paying for a new streaming service would be watching it, but who knows.

I bet over 100,000 of those were included with some sort of promotional give away.

The best thing that could happen if CNN, Fox and any other 24 hr news network would go belly up.

It is honestly amazing they even thought this was a good idea.

No one is watching CNN. Their ratings are in the absolute gutter. Why would they think anyone would pay for it?

What they should have done is offer it for free with advertisements before and after programs etc...if they were going to do this nonsense at all.



What they should done was stop lying and only covering half the news. Go back to objective reporting and cover both sides equally and fairly.

No woke shite. No tranny shite. No LGBTQWERTY shite.

Just the news, accurately and without opinion.

This is a shocking number right here. I didn't think they would crack 50K considering the broadcast version of CNN struggles to break 100K viewers. Literally no one watches it anymore.

Yeah, I thought I made that clear. All viewers are subscribers but not all subscribers are viewers. If I'm to believe the 150k number, then less than 10% of subscribers are viewers.

Ever since they lost Lynn Russell, and quit being a 30 minute news program in favor political satire, it has been a long, downhill slide.

Let me translate that for you all..."we're seeing that woke, progressive nonsense is not working and people are fed up with it."


Plus there is a lot of competition for woke prog trash from almost all the other media outlets. There’s no difference in any of them.
