The
service will feature new shows from the network's major anchors,
including Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon, the report said

citing people familiar with the matter.
WarnerMedia did not immediately respond to Reuters request for
comment.
The news comes after AT&T, which also owns HBO and Warner Bros
studios, and Discovery, home to lifestyle TV networks such as
HGTV and TLC, said last month they will combine their content to
form a standalone global entertainment and media business.
