CNN Max, the cable news network’s live news stream, will no longer be available on HBO Max starting on Nov. 17.
CNN is about the launch is own streaming channel this fall, although an exact launch dates has not yet been announced.
HBO Max will continue to stream CNN Originals like Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy and The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper.
Alex MacCallum, executive vice president of digital products and services for CNN, said in a statement, “CNN has benefitted tremendously from its two years of offering a live 24/7 feed of news to HBO Max customers. We learned from HBO Max’s large base of subscribers what people want and enjoy the most from CNN, and with the launch of our own new streaming subscription offering coming later this fall, we look forward to building off that and growing our audience with this unique, new offering.”
CNN launched the livestream in the fall of 2023, after the short life of another streaming venture, CNN+.
The new subscription streaming offering will feature a selection of live channels and on-demand programming, designed to put all of the network’s video offerings in one place. Warner Bros. Discovery, meanwhile, changed the name of Max back to HBO Max earlier this year, reflecting a reversion to a narrower selection of content offerings.
