Cutting the Cord Without Cutting Out the Cable News Drama: How to Watch CNN on Hulu (Because Let's Face It, We All Need a Dose of Wolf Blitzer Sometimes)
Let's be honest, folks. We all have those moments where we crave a healthy dose of breaking news, political punditry throwdowns, and maybe even a glimpse of Anderson Cooper looking effortlessly stylish in a war zone. But who wants to be shackled to a traditional cable package these days? It's 2024, people! We've got options, and that's where the wonderful world of streaming services comes in.
Now, you might be wondering, "Can I watch CNN on glorious Hulu?" Well, fret no more, because the answer is a resounding YES (with a side of popcorn, because let's be real, news is way more entertaining with snacks).
Here's the thing, though: Hulu offers two flavors - the basic binge-fest version and the Hulu with Live TV option, which is where you'll find your CNN fix.
Hold on to your hats, because here's how to unlock the live news magic on Hulu:
-
Step One: Embrace the Inner Streamer. Head over to Hulu's website and snag yourself a Hulu with Live TV subscription. Now, there are two options here - one with commercials (because hey, gotta pay the bills somehow) and a slightly pricier ad-free version. The choice is yours, grasshopper.
-
Channel Surfing... Virtually! Once you're all signed up, it's time to unleash your inner channel surfer (minus the risk of getting carpal tunnel). Just open the Hulu app and navigate to the "Live TV" section. There, nestled amongst all the other channels, you'll find your holy grail - CNN.
-
Breaking News at Your Fingertips. Now you can watch live broadcasts, stay updated on the latest happenings, and witness the glorious back-and-forth debates that make cable news so... entertaining.
Bonus Tip: Feeling fancy? Hulu with Live TV also throws in a bunch of other channels, including Disney+ and ESPN+. So you can catch up on the latest Marvel shows, then switch gears and watch some high-octane sports action. Basically, it's an entertainment buffet for the whole family (or just you, no judgement here).
So there you have it, folks! Now you can ditch the cable guy (or at least tell him you're thinking about it), whip out the snacks, and settle in for a front-row seat to the ever-unfolding drama that is the news cycle. And hey, if you catch Wolf Blitzer looking particularly stylish in a khakis-and-combat-boots combo, be sure to tweet about it. We're all in this news-watching adventure together.
