CNN Max was going to bare bones , because they are more testing a ground and then hoping they'll be able to just simulcast CNN US on Max without any problem. Especially since they burned themselves on CNN Plus ,which also was the strangest output they thought up and stuck it together.
It also explains why they launched the very unnecessary politics show on CNN International, probably a part of CNN I's very cut budge to make something that will be for the Americans stumbling on Max, and why Max viewers won't be getting Connect the World (still on CNN I and on CNN I stream still on the CNN app in the US). Then like the press release might have alluded to, they retrofitted One World to be pretty much now focused more on American stuff, might as well call it One America (if there wasn't a US news channel that had that name and don't want to talk more about them). Amanpour airs in the US already, and the current CNN management seems to really be uplifting her , which is nice, but they should also be uplifting Becky Anderson, and the many other quality folks at CNN International. Isa's show doesn't make it to Max either. Then they run Quest, which is fitting since it's the only business show they have. Hmm , since it's the only business show, shouldn't have a studio to use instead of some room? huh?
If they didn't crater themselves with CNN Plus stupidity last year, I feel HLN's news programming wouldn't have been cut the way it was. Robin Meade's Morning Express and Susan Hendrick's Weekend Express would have been great programmes to simulcast on here. It would have given them 5 hours free live news on weekends and 6 hours on weekdays. I will probably repeat the better things they could have done with Robin Meade thing for years.
The only real smart thing here is they put it on Max and don't seem to be throwing extra money at it to hurt the rest of CNN this time.
I saw the idea of an online CNN headline News in this thread too. The funny thing is you kind of don't need CNN for your news (on weekdays) NBC News Now, CBS News (the channel) , ABC NEWS Live are covering things for free online. (Weekends you might CNN) The FOX owned station in Phoenix created what is now Live Now from FOX which is a great raw feed news channel thing, it's very FOX without the opinion stuff. There's Scripps News, There's Grays' Local News Live, There's Newsnet, which uses the old Headline News model, if the old Headline News had 80% less money. CNN just sat there, did nothing. It's not even like they didn't online products (I still miss the great Big Story) but they seemed to clinch at doing anything like an online headline stream.
