CNN is racing to secure distribution for its new streaming service with more partners ahead of its launch later this month.
CNN+ is optimistic it will launch on the streaming platforms of Apple and Roku and is hoping to close deals with other distributors before the launch, CNN Digital chief Andrew Morse said in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s Emily Chang at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. A spokesperson later clarified that CNN+ hasn’t finalized deals with Apple and Roku. The company also previously announced a pact with Comcast.
