Hello! Welcome to the first of many newsletters and podcasts from Broadcasting Week! While not having launched yet, I thought it would be appropriate and come in to do an EMERGENCY episode regarding my thoughts involving the upcoming shutdown of CNN Plus.

From what the service offered to why I think it failed, its all broken down here. Because this is an EMERGENCY episode, don’t expect this to be any polished except for the opener. Its all live with my thoughts, nothing edited at all.

I’ll be covering topics like this and more on the upcoming service which will definitely launch later this year so stay tuned for that. I’ll also unveil more details, which hopefully will include guests like broadcasters and more. Until then, enjoy this episode!

Thanks for reading and listening to this Broadcasting Week episode! Subscribe for free now to receive new updates and podcast episodes, and to support my work. It definitely goes a long way.
