CNN has announced plans to create a streaming TV news program based on its popular podcast and newsletter 5 Things on Max.
Hosted by Kate Bolduan, the new program will debut on Monday, April 15th on the streaming service.
“It’s the five essential stories of the morning in five minutes or less,” Bolduan said in a video promoting the launch of the show.
The show was set to be a tentpole of the shuttered CNN+ streaming service when it launched before Warner Bros. Discovery ended the platform mere weeks after its introduction.
A launch of a new program from CNN on the Max platform is latest expansion of the news brand’s digital focus under new CEO Mark Thompson.
In the March 2024 rankings from Podtrac, 5 Things was the 20th most listened-to podcast in the country, falling one spot from its previous month’s ranking.
