CNN plans broadband broadcast service

A Reuters newswire article by Paul J. Gough, via Yahoo! News, reveals that:

CNN on Sunday took the wraps off its top-secret premium broadband service in a move to remake the digital space and offer viewers unprecedented control over their news.

CNN is no stranger to the Web. Its site,
http://www.CNN.com, is one of the oldest at 10 years and has offered video from nearly the beginning. But this new premium service, called CNN Pipeline, will go beyond what's been offered recently by such other competitors as ABC News Now and CBS News' broadband site when it begins in the fall.

The downloadable product, available for an as-yet-unannounced monthly charge, will offer four live, on-demand streams of video from the day's major news centers as well as extensive on-demand video news reports, the usual range of CNN.com and wire stories, and a search feature.
