CNN is offering viewers what it calls a “deal of a lifetime” by offering access to the new CNN Plus streaming service to early customers for half price — or $2.99 a month — as long as they stay subscribers.
The regular price for CNN Plus will be $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year, with the $2.99 monthly offer available during the first four weeks of service. Update: the service launched on March 29 and the discount offer is in effect until April 26.

“We’re thrilled to offer CNN Plus’s world-class journalism, premium storytelling and Interview Club platform at this attractive price,” said Andrew Morse, CNN executive VP, chief digital officer and head of CNN Plus, in a release. “Nothing like CNN Plus exists. There is no news and non-fiction streaming subscription offering available today, and only CNN can create and deliver a global news product with this kind of value to consumers.”
CNN said it will offer live content, on-demand shows, and programming that will be interactive with viewers.
CNN will have a single app that will offer access to both CNN Plus for subscribers and TV everywhere for pay TV customers, who will have access to CNN’s linear TV feeds of CNN, CNN International and HLN, as well as a substantial on-demand offering.
