The swift end of CNN+ came as a shock, though multiple reports suggested its early subscriber numbers were not strong. On Wednesday, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav told CNBC shutting down the service was a "business decision" that was made because "the subscribers weren't there."
News of Wallace's move was announced Wednesday by CNN's new CEO, Chris Licht, who said he's looking to "reimagine" CNN's morning programming. Licht also said that "at a time when extremes are dominating cable news, we will seek to go a different way."
