Discovery merger with CNN \u2014 rather than any problems with content or lower-than-expected subscription numbers \u2014 was the main driver behind the termination of CNN+.<\/p>\n<p>Wallace argued that former CNN chief Jeff Zucker and others at the network had been right to believe that streaming was the future of news, noting that multi-channel cable packages were quickly becoming a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea was you\u2019ve got to get a foothold in the streaming world because that\u2019s where the future of news off the mainstream networks is going to be. Now you have some equally smart people that have come in with a diametrically opposed view, these are the new bosses at CNN+ because of [the Warner Bros. Discovery merger] who have come to the conclusion that to have a narrow niche product like a news streaming service doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Wallace continued, referencing Discovery\u2019s plan to launch a much broader, all-encompassing streaming service that included content across all of its brands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have absolutely no idea which is right and wrong, but the Discovery people are in charge and so they made the decision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Adams continued to press Wallace, asking whether he had plans for his own future given the fact that he had left Fox after 18 years in order to make the jump to CNN+.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean my gosh, Jackie, it just happened on Thursday. Give me a couple days,\u201d Wallace said, adding, \u201cI am going to be fine. I\u2019m in good shape whether it\u2019s at CNN or someplace else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wallace concluded by saying that his main concern was the hundreds of people on his team and other teams who had also left their previous jobs and even moved across the country to help launch the streaming service.<\/p>\n<p>According to a statement from the network, all CNN+ employees <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/a-uniquely-sy-situation-new-cnn-chief-tells-staffers-theyre-not-to-blame-for-cnn-implosion\/\">will be retained<\/a> on full salary and benefits while executives try to find them other positions within the network. Those who do not find a good enough fit will reportedly be given a 6-month severance.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
