DirecTV Wrist Slaps WBD for CNN Channel on Max

[Mark Jeffries]

Although the official word is that most of the programming on the new channel is either CNN International programming or original programming, the satellite/streaming service has noticed that "CNN This Morning" and the Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper shows, among others, are airing on the channel and that it may violate their contracts (gift link):

I've seen it separately reported that CNN's defence here is that CNN Max is essentially "CNN International" which is a different channel to CNN. Of course, CNN International simulcasts many of the key CNN shows including This Morning and their Blitzer/Cooper block...
