How to watch CNN w/o paying for it again

Jump to solution

I already pay for CNN with my cable service. How can I watch CNN on Roku w/o paying for it again. CNN Go is no longer available.

This channel says: cable subscription required, so I assume that's the one you want.  (It sounds like it handles both your situation and CNN+ - let us know if it doesn't!)

Thanks.  I actually tried signing into CNN on Roku & used the settings icon to get an activation code. Once I had the activation code and used it on the CNN website activation area  I was able to access CNN in full on Roku. It needs to be made clear on the app that you can sign in through your cable provider rather than being told to sign up for a free trial.  Thanks for you help, btw.

@cmk1  Suggest that to CNN. They just designed this new channel. It was released yesterday

@cmk1  CNNgo is gone. CNN and CNN+ is combined into one channel. You log into CNN with your TV providers credentials. CNN+ is a separate service and login

I can't get this to work for me. I have a Cable Provider where I can watch CNN, but when I try to use the app, it takes me back to the main menu. I haven't been able to watch in over 2 months. NOTHING is working and I've tried everything. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

When you go to authenticate/authorize the app, is your cable provider listed?
