Several CNN+ shows move to HBO Max and CNN

 It was confirmed Wednesday Chris Wallace will host a show on its cable network. Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace will air Sunday evenings on CNN and also be available to stream on HBO Max. 

On Wednesday, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav told CNBC why shutting down the CNN+ streaming service made sense.  

"We're very focused on @CNN. We think CNN is a very critical asset for us," says @wbd CEO David Zaslav. "On CNN+, there was no message. It was a business decision. The subscribers weren't there." pic.twitter.com/EfhO9o962E

Also making the move from CNN+ to linear will be “Eva Longoria: Searching for Mexico” — a spin-off of “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy.” The series will now air on CNN proper after once being a centerpiece of the streamer’s plans. In the show, Longoria will travel across Mexico sampling cuisine including slow cooking mole sauce in Oaxaca or harvesting blue agave for tequila.

CNN announced the upcoming documentary “The Story of HQ Trivia” which will go inside the rise and fall of the once-popular mobile trivia show. The film will be joined by “See It Loud: The History of Black Television,” “The 2010s,” “Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down,” and “Little Richard: I Am Everything.”
