CNN to Introduce Metered Paywall in October

The move aims to boost revenue as cable TV declines, requiring frequent users to pay for digital content.

CNN will implement a metered paywall next month, charging users after a certain number of free articles.
The initiative is part of a broader restructuring plan led by CEO Mark Thompson to counter declining cable TV revenue.
The subscription model will start with a low-cost option to gauge customer demand.
This follows CNN's earlier digital subscription attempt with CNN+, which was shut down due to high costs.
The network will monitor audience reactions and adjust the paywall strategy as needed.
