CNN Undergoing Significant Changes to Prepare for Future Beyond Cable TV

CNN is undergoing significant changes to enhance its digital offerings and reduce reliance on cable TV. Layoffs and new digital products, including a subscription service, are part of the restructuring efforts. The network aims to merge TV and digital news teams for a unified ‘Global News organization’ and leverage AI to expand its digital presence. CNN is set to introduce ad-supported streaming channels, a TV Futures Lab, and a direct-to-consumer subscription product by the end of the year.
