That is in complete contrast to a town hall meeting among staff in which incoming CNN CEO Chris Licht said that \u201cThis was an incredibly successful launch,\u201d but the new director of the company means it just doesn\u2019t fit the program.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: Netflix Plans Crackdown on Password Sharing After Loss of 200,000 Subscribers<\/span><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: native in content! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-streaming-landscape-is-starting-to-change-and-evolve\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Streaming_Landscape_is_Starting_to_Change_and_Evolve\"><\/span> The Streaming Landscape is Starting to Change and Evolve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/streaming.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/streaming.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/streaming.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/streaming.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Streaming studios\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/streaming.jpeg\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Image via Vox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> While the decision about the fate of CNN+ seems to have been made before the service even launched, the platform is not the only one who is facing changes and potential problems in the immediate future. During the Covid pandemic, many streaming services saw subscriber numbers rocket due to families being stuck at home in lock down with nothing to do and in some cases spare cash that they couldn\u2019t spend on going out and leisure activities. However, now most counties are treating Covid as an acceptable risk, all of that has changed again.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\nThis week Netflix were revealed to have lost around 200,000 subscribers since the last quarter, which was worked out as a gain of 500,000 and a loss of 700,000, the latter partly down to the suspension of service in Russian due to their invasion of Ukraine. Having initially expected to gain around 2.5 million subscribers in this period, the streamer is now facing some dramatic changes to the way it invests its money, how it deals with password sharing among family members and discussions about how it can prevent further huge losses in subscribers.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\nWith many streaming platforms all facing difficult choices about the services they offer, the prices they charge and how to try and keep increasing subscriber numbers in a very crowded market, the loss of CNN+ is possibly one that could have been foreseen the moment the WarnerMedia-Discovery deal was done. The real question now is what changes will we see across the streaming world in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> as we come out of the pandemic and find dozens of platforms all fighting for the attention of audiences who may no longer have time to invest in them.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #4! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/gzHvO8ZfY64ZdAa0Q94ThGjvoQpvj4.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/gzHvO8ZfY64ZdAa0Q94ThGjvoQpvj4.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1037\" height=\"546\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Shudder Series Behind the Monsters Digs Deep Into Six Icons of Horror\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Shudder <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> Behind the Monsters Digs Deep Into Six Icons of Horror\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61982f36234db-IMG_4718.jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Anthony Lund<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(2024 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Anthony Lund is an author, songwriter and puppeteer from a small village in the U.K. with an avid love of all genres of TV and film.
