Abstract
The article discusses the relaunch of CNN's free, ad-supported streaming channel, now called CNN Headlines, which introduces live programming and dedicated anchor talent to enhance viewer engagement. The channel features real-time segments like "CNN Headline Express" and aims to provide curated news around the clock. Brad Smith, a former anchor with a background in financial and business news, is the first dedicated host for the channel. This relaunch is part of a broader strategy to modernize CNN's streaming offerings and aligns with industry trends towards Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) channels, while also preparing for a future subscription-based service. The channel is accessible on various platforms, including Prime Video and Pluto TV, and aims to increase both audience reach and advertising revenue. [Extracted from the article]
