'''CNN+''' ('''CNN Plus''') was a Spanish 24-hour television news channel. Launched in 1999 as a joint venture by [[Sogecable]] (a subsidiary of [[PRISA|Prisa]]) and [[Turner Broadcasting System]] (a unit of [[WarnerMedia|Time Warner]] which owned [[CNN]]), it went off the air at the end of 28 December 2010. The management announced that CNN+ would be closed on 31 December 2010 because of low ratings and financial losses.<ref name="closed">{{Cite news |date=2010-12-10 |title=CNN + dejará de emitir a partir del próximo 31 de diciembre |language=es |publisher=20 Minutos |url=https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/899590/0/cnn/deja/emitir/ |access-date=2022-03-30}}</ref>

The slogan was ''Está pasando, lo estás viendo'' (It's happening, you're watching it).<ref>{{Cite news |date=2004-02-01 |title=CNN+ cumple 5 años de canal "creíble" y serio |language=es |work=El Periódico Extremadura |url=https://www.elperiodicoextremadura.com/ocio/tv/2004/02/01/cnn-cumple-5-anos-canal-45674957.html |access-date=2022-03-30}}</ref> By 2008, there were other 24-hour television channels &mdash; [[Intereconomía TV]] and [[TVE 24h]] &mdash; and CNN+ was no longer the audience leader in this type of general information. Also, CNN+'s ratings were low, peaking at 0.6%.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2010-12-28 |title=CNN+ echa el cierre tras casi 12 años en antena |language=es |work=RTVE |url=https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20101228/cnn-se-despide-tras-11-anos-antena/390501.shtml |access-date=2022-03-30}}</ref>

On 18 December 2009, the channels of Sogecable, a Prisa business, merged into the [[Mediaset España|Gestevisión Telecinco]], which already controlled Spain's [[Telecinco]] channel.{{citation needed|date=February 2025}}

The channel went off the air at 11:59&nbsp;p.m. (Spanish time) on 28 December 2010. On [[digital terrestrial television]] (DTT), it was replaced with Gran Hermano 24 horas, a television channel dedicated to the 24-hour coverage of the reality show ''[[Gran Hermano (Spanish TV series)|Gran Hermano]]'',<ref>{{Cite news |date=2010-12-29 |title=CNN+ se apaga para siempre... y da paso a Gran Hermano |language=es |work=Europa Press |url=https://www.europapress.es/tv/noticia-cnn-apaga-siempre-da-paso-gran-hermano-20101229191310.html |access-date=2022-03-30}}</ref> the Spanish version of [[Big Brother (franchise)|''Big Brother'' franchise]] (see also [[Gran Hermano (Spanish season 12)|''Gran Hermano'' (Spanish season 12)]]), and since 1 March 2011 by [[Divinity (TV channel)|Divinity]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2018-12-28 |title=Trabajadores de CNN+ recuerdan el cierre del canal en su octavo aniversario |language=es |work=elperiodico.com |url=https://www.elperiodico.com/es/yotele/20181228/cnn-plus-recuerdo-cierre-canal-8-aniversario-7223117 |access-date=2022-03-30}}</ref>
