The show and graphics say “Newsroom”; however, Fred has only referred to it as “CNN Max”. There’s also a graphic that flashes before live shots that says “CNN Max Live”
The start of the show was rough with a double opt out from CNN US to CNN International to CNN Max.
During the TOTH headlines, the US Newsroom graphics were used, similar to those seen on Fred’s weekend show. Fred also accidentally said “it’s 11am in Atlanta, 5am in Los Angeles”
Rahel takes over at 10a. No word yet on if she’ll anchor for one hour or two. She is currently on air in front of a virtual set giving a markets report.
Overall exactly this is going well for a beta launch. This is what CNN+ should have been: rolling news, not appointment streaming disguised as on demand viewing.
