While Max has always stated that it plans to raise fees for access to its CNN and Bleacher Report Sports apps, the price increases have been a workaround aimed at subscribers to the streamer’s cheapest tier.
Today, Max announced that it no longer intends to charge subscribers to its Standard ($16.99 per month or $169.99 per year) and Premium ($20.99 per month or $209.99 per year) plans an additional $9.99 per month for CNN Max and Bleacher Report Sports. The apps will be removed from the Max ad-free plan ($9.99 per month or $99.99 per year) starting March 30, but this means that subscribers will have to upgrade to a more expensive plan if they want to continue watching live sports and news.
