New ownership is rethinking CNN's place in its streaming ecosystem.

Less than a month after it launched, the streaming service CNN+ will wind down operations, as its new corporate owner Warner Bros. Discovery rethinks the news giant’s streaming strategy. The service will shut down on April 30, after launching on March 29, a source familiar with the plans said.

CNN employees were set to be informed of the decision Thursday by incoming CNN CEO Chris Licht.
