CNN.com: More than 6 million paid video subscribers
July 8, 2004 · Share This · 2 Comments
CNN.com revealed at The ContentBiz Selling Subscriptions Summit that it has more than 6 million paid video subscribers:
How? CNN.com’s subscriptions are sold via partnerships with AOL Broadband, Real, and Roadrunner, among others. Naturally CNN only gets a small slice of each sub, but it’s a numbers game. You raise the price just 10 cents per month per user and that’s $7.2 million more revenues per year. Plus, General Manager David Payne made everyone jealous when he said, “Churn and credit card problems … those are the issues of our partners.”
CNN.com is also reportedly working on new desktop application.
