CNN+ (CNN Plus) was a Spanish 24-hour television news channel. Launched in 1999 as a joint venture bySogecable (a subsidiary ofPrisa) andTurner Broadcasting System (a unit ofTime Warner which ownedCNN), it went off the air at the end of 28 December 2010. The management announced that CNN+ would be closed on 31 December 2010 because of low ratings and financial losses.[1]
The slogan wasEstá pasando, lo estás viendo (It's happening, you're watching it).[2] By 2008, there were other 24-hour television channels —Intereconomía TV andTVE 24h — and CNN+ was no longer the audience leader in this type of general information. Also, CNN+'s ratings were low, peaking at 0.6%.[3]
On 18 December 2009, the channels of Sogecable, a Prisa business, merged into theGestevisión Telecinco, which already controlled Spain'sTelecinco channel.[citation needed]
The channel went off the air at 11:59 p.m. (Spanish time) on 28 December 2010. Ondigital terrestrial television (DTT), it was replaced with Gran Hermano 24 horas, a television channel dedicated to the 24-hour coverage of the reality showGran Hermano,[4] the Spanish version ofBig Brother franchise (see alsoGran Hermano (Spanish season 12)), and since 1 March 2011 byDivinity.[5]
