Is this a record for shortest lived premium service? I feel like it may be...

  What was that service that only worked on phones with in-house made 10 minute TV shows? That one was incredibly expensive. Edit: Quibi

    Quibi was launched April 6th, 2020 and dissolved December 1, 2020. It lasted nearly 8 months.

      You're right but now I want to calculate losses per day. haha Quibli burned through 1.75 billion USD. I wonder how much CNN+ lost.

        The article mentions $300m USD to develop CNN+

          That's an incredible amount of money to burn. Thanks for looking that up!

          So I wonder if they’re laying off a bunch of people who were running CNN+? Where does that money go? Salaries? Marketing?

          Development time accounts for more than the time between launch and shutdown.
