Not to be confused with [CNN+](/source/CNN%2B) or [CNN Max](/source/CNN_Max).

The **CNN app** (whose video component is formerly known as **CNNgo**) is the online streaming platform of [CNN](/source/CNN). The website and corresponding streaming apps require a user to enter their [TV Everywhere](/source/TV_Everywhere) cable television user name and password to access live CNN, [CNN International](/source/CNN_International) and [HLN](/source/HLN_(TV_network)) broadcasts and entire episodes of CNN shows, but watching news clips are typically free. In 2025, an All Access subscription plan was developed to provide users without a television subscription to a large range of content through the app and website.[4]

## History

CNN initially announced they were offering CNNgo on September 30, 2014. CNNgo allowed users to watch a live CNN video feed, on demand shows and short clips from CNN.com at [http://cnn.com/go](http://cnn.com/go). This was very similar to [CNN Pipeline](/source/CNN_Pipeline) in that it allows viewers to watch [CNN](/source/CNN) live, users must enter cable television credentials before watching live television, but you can watch news clips for free.[1] However, unlike Pipeline, users are not required to pay extra if they have a cable provider. Another difference is that there is still no paid option, meaning users cannot watch CNN live if they don't have cable TV.

CNN then announced they were bringing CNNgo to the [Apple TV](/source/Apple_TV_(device)),[2] amidst a wave of new channels being brought to the [Apple TV](/source/Apple_TV_(device)). However, some users complained of not being able to sign into the Apple TV channel with as many credentials as with the apps or website. In 2022, CNNgo was merged into the CNN app.[5]
