CNN Launches News-Focused Streaming Service to Capture Shifting Viewer Habits
27 Oct
Summary
- CNN launches new "All Access" streaming service focused on news
- Service features live CNN programming and on-demand content
- Aims to attract viewers moving away from traditional cable TV
In October 2025, CNN is launching a new streaming service called "All Access" to cater to viewers who are moving away from traditional cable TV. The service will feature live CNN programming, as well as on-demand content, allowing subscribers to access the network's industry-leading journalism on any device.
The new offering is part of CNN's strategy to adapt to the changing media landscape. The network is projected to shed 7.6% of its pay-TV subscriber base by the end of 2026, according to estimates. To combat this decline, CNN is focusing on delivering news and content that appeals to viewers who are more interested in the latest information on trending topics rather than strict programming schedules.
Alongside the launch of "All Access," CNN is also facing a significant change in its leadership. Veteran anchor John Dickerson is departing CBS News, raising questions about the future of the "Evening News" program. This shift in the industry underscores the broader challenges facing traditional media outlets as they navigate the transition to a more digital-centric world.
