  That isn't true. The first block rehashes quotes from Feb 4th, Jeff Zucker's resignation, and Chris Licht taking over. Thats all very old news. And the previous article buried subscriber counts in paragraph 14, and never mentions CNN's ratings or viewership, or CNN+'s viewership per show. Instead, both this article and the previous one is an attempt to obfuscate the reality of awful viewership as just a victim of executive realignment: It's being shuttered due to a strategic misalignment between Discovery executives and CNN executives. and The service was shut down because CNN and its new parent disagreed over whether the investment made sense long-term. But not, "CNN shut down the service when it became obvious virtually nobody was willing to pay a non-promotional price for the product."
