“Serious, reliable, Ahead of the Curve, Progressive and Engaging.” That is how TV watchers around America see the HLN channel. Perhaps for the greater part the popularity of the network is deep rooted in its niche programming—which is able to captivate vast cross sections of the audience, and feed the growing obsession with true crime.
American basic cable news channel, HLN was launched in 1982 and is owned by CNN. The network’s initial programming stuck to its CNN roots—with focus on regularly updated news segments that aired every 30 minutes 24/7—and covered national news, business news, sports, weather, and more.
But, HLN did not stick to its original programming style as it evolved with time, and also as a result of rebranding efforts. In 2001, a primetime block featuring hosts such as Glen Beck and legal commentators like Nancy Grace was introduced. While the rolling news format also witnessed a change—with Live-anchored programming featuring various newscasters, that started to make space for itself in the HLN schedule.
Fast forward to mid-2010s, and you see HLN making another shift. It repositioned itself as a “social media-centric network”. And, began to feature content revolving around social media. The last time HLN underwent a transition was in 2016-17—where the slogan changed to “News that hits home”, and the programming blocks were divided into two. So, the daytime HLN programming now features regional headlines, entertainment news, with particular focus on crime stories. While the rest of the content broadcast on the HLN channel consists of true crime programming.
HLN is currently available to over 91 million U.S. households with a pay-television subscription. And, that figure alone tells HLN is one of the most-distributed U.S. subscription networks.
HLN features TV shows and true crime stories that bring out your inner detective, and more. And, if you have pulled a crime-series marathon on Netflix already, and have run out of content to binge-watch, HLN can be your next entertainment stop.
The HLN channel is available via varied satellite providers like Orby TV, DIRECTV and DISH as well as via most American cable TV services. You can also find the basic cable channel on streaming services like Sling TV, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.
