Have others taken a look at CNN+?

Until late April you can sign up for $2.99 a month and then cancel if you don't like it.

I thought I would give it a try. I am not sure yet. I really like Sara Sidner and she has a half hour show at 9am est which I think is pretty good.

Kasie Hunt has a show at 4pm est and frankly I can not bear her and would never watch it.

I think they have some programming bugs to work out. Overall, it seems a bit off and bumpy to me in a way I can't really describe other than saying just that.

All to enhance revenue from already existing pipelines. Must be fat profits in these endless bastards.

I can’t imagine her show doing any better than the flops she’s already had.

There is other very good content. Time will tell.

She was like a love struck school girl with a crush on Ryan, and she calls herself a news person?

for "news" posted by Floyd R. Turbo and Sherman A1. I wouldn't rely on any of that to get through your day!

And certainly wouldn’t pay any more for their poorly done babbling drama infotainment.

It's either that or Joe and Mika, who Charles Pierce dubbed 'Squint and the Meat Puppet', for very good reasons.

CNN+ doesn't sound like it's worth any amount of money, even 'half price for life'. I certainly don't need Chris Wallace, who seems to be their big draw celebrity news person.

I spend my morning on the exercise bike watching NHK from Japan to get a news broadcast while reading other news sources from around the world.
