The wording on the Official VM Community Forum posting was "Due to WarnerMedia’s plans to move to
a subscription model for the CNN news channel" that doesn't mean they are moving to Warner's own systems on all platforms, it's ambiguous, it covers getting money from Sky as a Pay channel.
It's possible CNN weren't bothered about going Pay on other platforms as those smaller number of viewers, if they truly were interested, would be among the first customers for their new direct subscription, giving it a boost. Sky being the largest Pay TV platform by far would be the only important deal to them.
