Subscribers also have expanded access to CNN Originals and additional news content within CNN Max, which includes over 900 episodes of current and legacy programming such as “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” and “The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper” alongside Seasons 1 through 12 of “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown,” Seasons 1 and 2 of “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy” and CNN Films’ “Navalny,” which was honored with an Oscar for Documentary Feature Film earlier this year. 

The CNN Max launch comes as the linear network’s ratings have taken a massive hit over the last several months as cable providers have been bleeding subscribers due to cord-cutting. In July, overall linear viewership fell below 50% for the first time ever, according to Nielsen.

That month, CNN averaged 86,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54, the lowest viewership in 23 years. According to CNN, the network had a total of 474,000total day viewers and 607,000 primetime viewers for the third quarter of 2023, up from 467,000 and 590,000, respectively, in the previous quarter.

In August, former New York Times CEO Mark Thompson was tapped as CNN’s new chief executive following the ouster of Chris Licht. Thompson is tasked with reinventing CNN for the digital age.

The open beta also comes as Warner Bros. Discovery is looking to bolster the offerings of its Max streaming service in an effort to grow its subscriber base and reach profitability in the U.S. by the end of the year. In its latest quarter, WBD shed 1.8 million direct-to-consumer subscribers for a total of 95.8 million globally and reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $3 million, a $555 million year-over-year improvement.

Shares of Warner Bros. Discovery, which are up 15% year to date, have climbed 2.7% during Wednesday’s trading session.
