The Cable News Network (CNN) is an American and international cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner.
The 24-hour cable news channel was founded in 1980 by American media proprietor Ted Turner. Upon its launch, CNN was the first channel to provide 24-hour television news coverage, and the first all-news television channel in the United States.
While the news channel has numerous affiliates, CNN primarily broadcasts from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, the Time Warner Center in New York City, and studios in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. CNN is sometimes referred to as CNN/U.S. to distinguish the American channel from its international counterpart, CNN International.
CNN is available in over 100 million U.S. households, broadcast coverage extends to over 890,000 American hotel rooms, and the U.S. channel is also carried on cable and satellite in Canada.
Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories.
CNN US Version Overseas
The US version of CNN is not generally carried outside the United States, there is some overspill from the satellites carrying CNN in the United States. Unfortunately all are encrypted, so without a valid subscription it is not possible to view via satellite.
There are some live Internet streams available, see CNN Live Streams below.
