They did a horrible job explaining it, too many people think it's just streaming CNN that they currently get for "free" via cable or whatever other service they have. It was an entirely different set of programming that was supposed to be different from regular CNN.

I think even if they properly explained it that it was a dumb idea, there are too many streaming services all looking to create content.
