I have so many thoughts about this...
Firstly it makes me want to scream...DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ANYMORE?!" I get the rational around cancelling CNN+, and launching CNNMax. This is what they should have done from the beginning. Really guys come on?! Rant over.
Now im really interested to see what this looks like. Watching for the presentation will be interesting. Hope its not just a clone of the current CNN look with just a CNN Max logo. (But something tells me thats whats going to happen. If its different than the mothership graphics, i still think it will be some combination of their signature colours.)
I get a feeling that the live programming will be in DTLs. As they will be coming DC and Atlanta. So likely it will be produced on the cheap. All presenters/anchors will have similar "newsroom-esque" backgrounds or something generic like screens. But...... DOMESTIC WEEKDAY NEWS STUDIO PROGRAMMING FROM ATLANTA YA'LL! Can you imagine? LOL.
My biggest gripe or....shock. Is this simply going to be locked behind the MAX paywall? Because not everyone wants to buy another streaming service. Like all the other streaming news channels, this should be available to the free streaming world. Right now there is a CNNreplay channel on some FAST streaming services. Its a story jukebox type channel. They could retain the "replay" aspect and not eat into their live programming, but add in the "exclusive" new CNN Newsroom blocks and rebrand the free CNNreplay.
I know its stupid...i think they should have used the CNN Headline News brand for the new live newsblocks. It would have been cool to get a modernized version of the famous brand. Wonder what a 2023 version of the famous Headline News theme and reusing the memorable outro line " Around the world in 30 minutes this is CNN Headline News!" One can dream. Such a wasted brand.
