Pipeline

Dec 12 2005

I’m trying out CNN’s new “Pipeline” service. You pay $2.95 a month or $24.95 a year for access to three live channels of news. One of these feeds is anchored. The other two are feeds from CNN Newsource, which we get at work. They feed all kinds of live news events.

I’ve been impressed so far. It’s very raw and unfiltered. The video quality is good. The Pipeline application, which I downloaded, also includes an alerter which will pop up during breaking news. I dislike CNN. It’s too boring. But this is only the CNN brand. Pipeline is like having access to the raw feeds.

I like it, and it has me a step closer to canceling cable. Spend 99 cents and try it for a day.
