Things That Lasted Longer Than CNN+: New Coke, Tom Brady’s Retirement!

CNN+ was rescued after a mere 32-day period. CNN+, a far-left streaming network, crashed to a huge extent from March 29th through April 30th 2022. We wondered what other streaming channel lasted as long as CNN+. 

1. The New Coca-Cola The notorious change in Coca Cola’s recipe did way better than CNN+. The launch of New Coca Cola was on April 23, 1985. It was not met with immediate opposition and the original formula returned to market on July 11, 1985, just 79 days after its launch. 

2. The refrigerator can hold carrotsBased on Time Magazine states that carrots can be kept in the fridge for up to six weeks. CNN+ could be stored cold if it were a food that you can store quickly!  

3. This sitcom Joey:WhileFriendsThe show was hugely popular and lasted 10 seasons. However, Joey, the spinoff, lasted only 23 months from September 2004 through August 2006. CNN+ was even longer

4. Tom Brady’s retirement: By any measure, Tom Brady is more successful than CNN+. He announced his retirement in 2022 on February 1. He was done with his retirement and the quarterback was back. 40 days. CNN+ was born, died and reborn in 40 days.  

5. OJ Simpson’s trialCNN was obsessed with the OJ Simpson trial in 1995 and covered it constantly. Yet, if it happened today, CNN+ wouldn’t last long enough for the whole thing. The entire thing lasted just eight months, starting on January 24, 1995. It ended on October 3, 1995. 

6. Chris Rock and Pamela Anderson’s marriage:It would be possible to believe Kid Rock was destined for Pamela Anderson for as long as 122 summers. But, there is no denying that the love between the rock stars and PlayboyCNN+ model took almost four times the time to complete.

7. The XFL (first edition):It was an attempt to replace the NFL. The first game took place February 3, 2001. The last one took place April 21, 2001. That’s 77 days. The XFL finally came back in 2020. Don’t expect such a return for CNN+.  

Honorable mention:William Henry Harrison’s (almost!) presidency lasted almost as long as CNN+. Harrison was our ninth president and served the shortest time as a commander-in-chief. His term ended 31 days after he took office, on March 4th 1841. So ,Harrison’s presidency lasted just a day shy of CNN+. In the freezing cold, he delivered a two-hour inaugural address. What’s CNN+’s excuse? 

What will happen to CNN+ if there is no CNN+? Oh, wait. It’s still possible to watch CNN on a regular basis.
