CNN+ to shut down less than a month after launching
CBSN
CNN's brand-new streaming service, CNN+, is shutting down only a month after launching.
In a Thursday memo, incoming CNN chief executive Chris Licht said the service would shut down at the end of April. It launched March 29.
CNN+ began when its parent was still part of AT&T. It combined with Discovery earlier this month in a new company, Warner Bros. Discovery, under Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who had his own vision for CNN and its Warner siblings.

Health officials in western Texas are trying to contain a measles outbreak among mostly school-aged children, with at least 15 confirmed cases.
