I'm guessing alot haven't watched on CNN app on a smart TV either, I think a couple systems have the actual channel too, I know Fios (by Verizon) has it in glorious SD letterbox.
I still think it would have been better in the US, when they first started taking apart HLN to just have CNN International simulcast there and had Morning/Weekend Express and maybe some HLN live shows in the evening to opt out from and the rest be CNN International. Again this would be before CNN I became mostly simulcast of US, the HLN channel space would have been good now, but again it's mostly simulcast so that's not an idea now.
Makes me wonder if someone checks it out and just thinks everything is CNN Max's programming and doesn't know about CNN International at all.

Still, CNN Max must be confusing to some Americans generally. Much (most?) of the time it’s just the CNNI North America feed, with no explanation given.
Even the weather rolls during the breaks would be confusing…. With it all being in Celsius and not even specifying that.
And they’d also see promos for some CNNI shows they don’t actually get to see.
But great that more Americans are being exposed to CNNI programming.
