CNN is a renowned American news channel that is owned by the CNN company. This channel was founded back in 1980 as a 24 hour cable news channel by media proprietor Ted Turner. Upon its inception, it was the first television channel to provide 24-hour news coverage. Notably, it was also the first television channel in the United States to provide exclusively news coverage.

CNN primarily broadcasts from 30 Hudson Yards in New York City, as well as from studios in Washington D.C and Los Angeles. There is also the CNN Center in Atlanta, but that is only used for weekend broadcasting.

The network is well known as a service which provides its audience with breaking news from all over the world. The network is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with dedicated individuals who are passionate about journalism. CNN’s digital platform delivers news from journalists that come from every corner of the globe.

This network is seen by many as the one channel you should have if you want to stay in the loop on what is going on around the world. It provides snippets of what is going on everywhere, as well as hard-hitting journalism and breaking news that is bound to interest every viewer.

Those outside the US can view programming via CNN International, and this content is available in more than 212 countries. CNN US is available in Canada, selected Caribbean islands and Japan – so it’s safe to say this news coverage is far-reaching.

The weekday programming schedule for CNN primarily comprises rolling news, topics covered in depth and specific programs at certain hours – such as early morning news, late afternoon coverage and an evening show with highlights from the day.
