NEW YORK—CNN has announced that its All Access subscription tier will launch in the U.S. on Oct. 28, providing audiences with a centralized destination for CNN’s journalism, including live and on-demand video programming to stream.
In the run-up to the previously announced subscription video-on-demand service, CNN said in early October that it would end its live streams on HBO Max on Nov. 17. HBO Max is owned by CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.
Available for $6.99 per month or $69.99 a year, CNN says the new tier will deliver the most complete way to experience the network’s content within its existing suite of digital products across web, mobile and connected TV apps. Subscribers who sign up for the annual plan option by Jan. 5 can subscribe for a special introductory price of $41.99 for the first year.
“With this new subscription offering, our audience will now have access to the best of CNN across platforms, including multiple live stream channels, our signature video-led journalism and all articles on CNN.com and in the mobile app,” Alex MacCallum, executive vice president, digital products and services, CNN Worldwide, said. “It’s an essential step in CNN’s evolution as we work to give audiences the complete CNN experience in a format that reflects how audiences engage with the news today.”
Subscribers to the All Access tier will have the ability to stream a selection of CNN’s live U.S. and International programming; the award-winning CNN Originals library of more than 1,000 hours of content; the latest CNN Original Series and CNN Films, made available the day after their television airing; exclusive new video-on-demand programming and special features from CNN’s award-winning journalists; exclusive live events; and all CNN.com articles and subscriber-only content, CNN said.
The full schedule and content offering will be available at launch.
This new streaming offering will build upon the existing CNN subscription product, now called the Basic tier, which was launched in October 2024. That tier currently gives users unlimited access to CNN.com, CNN app articles and subscriber-only content, such as exclusive reporting and feature stories.
Current pay TV subscribers will also be able to log in and access the new streaming product at no additional cost. Pay TV subscribers will need to subscribe to the Basic tier to read unlimited CNN articles.
