CNN Set to Stream Live on Max, Ditching Cable TV

Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly planning to offer CNN on its streaming service, Max, outside of the United States in 2023, with plans to expand to the United States at a later date. While Bloomberg reported on this development, other sources suggest that the report may be premature. Warner Bros. Discovery's move to offer CNN on Max follows the trend of media companies going direct to consumers, with Disney also reportedly planning to offer ESPN as a standalone streaming service. No official announcements or details have been released yet, but live-streaming news is expected to be added to Max in the future.
